Bard part number 8000-197 is an OEM compressor assembly (Bristol H23A623DBL) used in select Bard wall-mount air conditioners and packaged units to restore proper refrigeration performance when the original compressor has failed electrically, mechanically, or due to contamination. This hermetic reciprocating compressor is commonly referenced at roughly 60,800 BTU capacity and is matched to specific system refrigerant and electrical requirements, so confirm your unit model and serial number and verify voltage, phase, and refrigerant compatibility in the Bard service literature before ordering. Installing a replacement compressor typically requires proper evacuation, filter drier replacement, correct oil management, and clean brazing practices to protect the new compressor and return the system to reliable operation with true Bard OEM fit and function.
