found AC problem now looking for a TXV

After a lot of trouble and work I finally found my problem a plugged TXV (Thermal Expansion Valve) on the AC. Now after trouble with no start and a bad 78-000831 fuse card I need a TXV.
It is a Egelhof brand, the numbers are either iiF31, or IIF31, or LLF31, or 11F31 not sue what the first 2 digits are. It also has a 3301 number. It is a 134a refrigerant valve but I don't know the size or tonnage
.
I have tried several HVAC places with no success finding one. Still searching.

Most exp. valves have a screen on the inlet side. Carefully remove that screen, with a small bent pick, and clean it. When you see the screen, you'll know weather the valve needs replacement or just a screen cleaning.

I took the txv out it does not have a screen. I have flushed the lines and got some dark oil looks rusty. Still have pressure problems so I am flushing the evaporator well, next comes the condenser. I have not found a Dryer yet.

Bill, on many Monacos the receiver dryer is attached to the condenser. Your condenser may be located in a rear compartment on the left side. Venting will be in the door.
If your coach is as I described, the hinged door causes hoses and fittings to fail. Look for oil at the connections near the door hinges.

Any chance you might find an older guy at a local auto parts store who would grab an AC catalog and see if they can find the NF31 or a cross reference? I think it might not be a custom motorhome part as much as something that was automotive and off the shelf.

I found small balls of desiccant from the dryer every where it could possible go. I had the same thing happen on my Pace Arrow Vision. Now flushing lines and blowing nitrogen threw them. I am going to change the dryer and try again, maybe it is not the TXV because the line before It was clogged with desiccant.

I just googled the part number. No wonder your struggling, that's the same exp valve MOPAR used 50 years ago. Now I understand why no screen. That was the worst valve I ever had to deal with.
