maestro489 Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Anybody ever use a heat gun to thaw a compressor? I've used a hair dryer but they are really slow. Would a heat gun cause any damage to the compressor? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZVendor Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 No. A heat gun should be fine as long as you don't leave it concentrated on any one point for very long. If it's frozen and not from an air leak or a failed fan motor then you need to have it recharged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WheelofDeath Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 I use one all the time for frozen evaporators. A heat gun and a shop vac to suck up the water makes it quick and easy. Keeps customers happy too since you are not having overflowing drip pans ruining carpets or creating slip hazards. Like AZVendor said just use with caution and common sense.
