I'm replacing the compressor in my Kenmore refrigerator. The new compressor has black rubber plugs sealing the 3 pieces of copper tubing coming out of the compressor. The old compressor was conected to the refrigerator at the copper tubing by sweating, is there a new methode of conection or do I just remove the plack plugs and sweat the conection. I also removed one of the plugs for about 30 seconds and some gas did escape, is this a problem?

Thanks Rob

New compressor charged with inert gas to prevent rusting and air contamination. I never open one till ready to put in.
Are you sure your old compressor is bad, what are the symptoms.
