Replacement Condensor
What does one do if the condenser needs to be replaced? Is there a preference?
Mine got bent and the fan smashed, but A.A.A. refused to pay. It has been fine on the freeway, but now seems to be lacking. I know the high side fill valve needs to be replaced, but thought the cap keep them sealed. However, now suspecting I am wrong, but don't have means to check away from home. But, can still get the parts ordered. So figure take lemons and make lemonade!  Since the refrigerant most likely needs to be replaced might as well replace the condensor. If I do that, need to replace the drier, so then that means installing a pressure switch.  That brings me to another question. Someone mentioned they had switched from a temperature switch to a pressure switch, which requires drilling into the drier element. Is there a part number and method? Thank you so very much!

There is a pressure switch already on the dryer, rather than drilling, just use a fitting tee...
