When mine leaked, I told the guy to put in a copper evaporator. He said he would, asnd then called me to tell me that the copper evaporator would not fit. So he put the %$#^! aluminum one in. Or said he did. I don't know what he did, but it continued to leak slightly ever after. $2100 I paid, and the damn thing worked for about a year.

I do not believe that there ever was a copper evaporator. I am not sure that any evaporator was changed. I went back once, he recharged it, and that lasted about 3 months. After that I have not darkened his door.

Curiously, the place is named Mercedeshop, no relation to this Forum whatever, in North Miami Beach. Go there and admire Gunter's fine German accent.

But don't have him fix anything expensive.
