Hi,

These scroll compressor should be able to run for a long time without much problems and without much maintenance.

The most common cause of them breaking is overheating, in which case the two scroll profiles will touch eachother and damage or break.

Did you open the scroll elements and see what the damage looked like?

Is the machine in a very hot compressor room?

These machines usually only need a bit of grease every year - the most common problem I've seen with that is that people tend to over-grease them, which will break them sometimes.

Hope this helps - it's hard to say from here what is causing you problems.

Thanks,

Cas
