Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Technician A is correct because when a compressor fails, it can send debris or metal fragments throughout the system, which can clog the drier/accumulator. Therefore, it is recommended to install a new drier/accumulator with the replacement compressor. Technician B is incorrect because while most replacement compressors come with oil, the amount may not be sufficient for the particular application, and checking the oil level is necessary to ensure proper lubrication of the compressor.
