Buying a used AC condenser: what to check
- Inspect fins for road-debris damage across the lower third, the usual impact zone.
- Confirm the refrigerant type and fitting style match your system.
- Bent inlet lines are common in removal; check photos closely.
- Replace the receiver-drier at the same time. It's cheap and protects the system.
