I've got a new stile dryer with the switch built in...v.s. having the switch in line, which would be better?  the newer dryer I pulled and have it in a plastic bag keeping stuff out...

Replace the acuumulator, orifice tube and flush everything out. Retrofit and Vacuum the system. Refill it with Ester oil and R134a.
