Description
The Carrier KK71EW016 O-Ring is a replacement part that should be used on Carrier HVAC compressors. This component is an overlooked workhorse that acts as a seal between other interacting components of the compressor system. When well-seated it creates a seal that does not allow refrigerant to flow. Refrigerant is used in your air conditioning system and leakage can have a profound impact on performance. An O-ring that is working as it should will allow enough refrigerant to flow up through the tubing systems for refrigeration and therefore, cooling. Leaks, on the other hand, might lead to low cooling capacity, low efficiency and costly repairs.
