Seems one of the company reefers got a leak on the condenser. Carrier Ultra.
Mechanic took it over to a local TK dealer to repair it and was informed this is common for the Carriers every 10K hours or so. TK has a replacement condenser that's supposed to stop it from happening again.
Just curious if anyone else has heard of this?
Carrier Reefer Condenser failing at 10,000 hours?

Yes had it on 2 carrier reefers last year both in the 9000 - 10000 hour range , son has had it on 1 of his but it was nearly brand new.

nice.
I have 9050 hours on my reefer. -
Only have had one condenser replaced in the last 15 years. A couple that are local only trailers have 40K hours on them. At 10K i'd be more concerned with the angle drive and blower bearings.
MNdriver Thanks this. -
