Four Seasons A/C Receiver Drier / Desiccant Element P/N:83410
Keep the A/C system dry and clean with the Four Seasons A/C Receiver Drier / Desiccant Element 83385. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement across the listed Ford vans, including the 2022-2024 Ford E-Transit, the 2015-2020 Ford Transit and Transit Custom, and the 2015-2025 Ford Transit-150, Transit-250 and Transit-350 / Transit-350 HD — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full application and engine list.
The receiver drier acts as a filter, removing moisture and contaminants from the air conditioning refrigerant — debris that system flushing cannot clear, which is why the unit is replaced whenever the system is opened.
A leaking or "open" system can saturate the desiccant bag within a few hours, leaving the drier ineffective, so it should be replaced any time the system is serviced. Four Seasons also notes that replacing the drier is required to validate the compressor warranty.
