Re: related to proper handling of home type copeland scroll compressor (oil related)
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz! just breifly viewed all the previous posts,
1 is crankcase heater working? was it energised for 24hrs prior to starting?
2 were all the electrics changed?
3 was a suction burn out drier fitted?
4 was the tev orifice inspected to ensure the inlet gauze is clear?
5 you say it ran for 4 minutes before it failed-that tells me when it was charged liquid was dumped into the system washing the oil out the sump !
was this repair a cash job?ie throw the comp in ,take the money and run?

Hmmmm! I think you got this one rumbled
cash job parts & procedures not followed
There has been no mention of these checks or procedures so we can conclude 'you get what you pay for' & without a clear feed of liquid & suction clean up its not gonna be long!
The original poster had us chasing a problem that did not exist & confused us
Tex, am wondering did you get offered these services and declined due to cost
or
was it a cheap cash job, how much was you charged ?

I've seen compressors go twice that age without incident. Old age is not, in and of itself, a cause of failure.
I would be far more concerned about a 19 year accumulation of dirt on the coils and/or fan blades, which is the most likely cause of the original failure.
Also of concern would be the condition of electrical components that have experienced that failure. The original compressor shorted to ground, which means very heavy current was drawn across any and all contacts in series with it, likely burning them.

Your so right it's embarrassing:o
We are all going to have to book ourselves on a comet salesman coarse
I just asked the mrs "what do you have to do if you pick up a freezer from the shop & lay it down?"
Straight away she said "let it stand for a day"
Or better still lads she just said for a small fee you can all come for dinner & she'll explain it in more detail
:D:D

Re: related to proper handling of home type copeland scroll compressor (oil related)
The cake fridge being on its side is a more valid concern, because the oil has someplace to go (suction line and/or evaporator).

Re: related to proper handling of home type copeland scroll compressor (oil related)
Seems the compressor-being-on-its-side-caused-it-to-pump-out-all-the-oil theory is unravelling.

Re: related to proper handling of home type copeland scroll compressor (oil related)
One thing we forgot to ask, was what was actually wrong with the new compressor, that failed after 4 minutes.
tripping a main breaker could indicate a multiple of faults.

Oil in the bottom of the condenser would seem to indicate floodback.

If you rub the oil in the rug it looks like new, but I think she only needs lube for the larger installs :D

Was the comp seized, down to earth, one of the windings open circuit. Is the comp actually knackered. If a muppett installed it, could he just of grosslly overcharged overloading the motor, causing the breaker to trip, before the internal overload. We have presumed the guy who condemmmed it, knew what he was doing.
I do not believe the transport issue is that major for sealed scroll comp only

I must admit to a bit of envy to you Brits where, regardless of your work or freetime fun, you can find a group of mates within a short distance. The caravan culture comes to mind as does the (sadly receding) pub culture.
