CBK AC Compressor Warranty Details

CBK INTERNATIONAL INC warrants its AC Compressors to be free from defects in material and workmanship for a period of 1 year from the date purchased. This warranty only applies to compressors when proper installation is met by replacing the accumulator, expansion device, flushing the system of all debris, and using the proper type and amount of system oil. This warranty does not cover any expenses incurred in the removal and / or reinstallation of the auto part. Specifically, this warranty does not cover any expenses for refrigerant, other parts not purchased from CBK, or LABOR. This warranty is offered only to the original purchaser of the compressor. This warranty does not apply, and will be voided, if the auto part sold has been damaged by abuse, misuse, accident, neglect, or alteration. If the auto part sold should prove defective in material or workmanship within the warranty period, call or email our customer service center. CBK will, at its option, replace or repair the compressor free of charge and return it to you.

Warranty Summary

The warranty for compressors will be denied if the following conditions are not followed:
  • The accumulator/filter drier and the expansion device (orifice tube, liquid line containing the orifice tube, peanut valve, or block valve) must be replaced at the same time as the compressor
  • Inspected compressor clutch for proper air gap before installation (refer to OEM or compressor manufacturer’s specifications)
  • Used only approved oil (PAG or ester oil for R134a and mineral oil for R12) and amount of oil should be inserted through the suction port of the compressor or oil plug. With the use of a spanner wrench turn the compressor shaft (not the clutch pulley) 10 to 15 times, this will help to properly distribute the oil throughout the compressor and prevent hydraulic lockup
  • Inspected compressor drive belt for proper adjustment and/or wear and repair as needed.
  • Inspected evaporator, condenser, radiator, and charge air cooler for proper airflow and repair as needed. The technician may need to replace the condenser in specific applications.
  • Inspected a/c system for leaks using nitrogen and repair as needed.
  • The A/C system must be held under vacuum for a minimum of 45 minutes and/or 1000 microns
  • Charged a/c system with proper refrigerant (R134a or R12) and proper amount (refer to vehicle specifications)
  • Inspected fan clutch or electric fan assemblies for proper operation and replaced if needed.
  • Inspected compressor clutch electrical circuit for proper voltage and repaired if needed
  • Inspected all pressure switches for proper operation and replaced if needed.
  • The use of stop leak products will void the warranty.
  • All compressor defects must show proof of purchase of an Orifice Tube/Expansion Valve, Drier, and Approved A/C System Flush or a Work Order showing the purchase of these items and that the system was flushed using approved procedures.
