Four Seasons A/C Receiver Drier / Desiccant Element P/N:83276
Keep your A/C refrigerant clean and dry with the Four Seasons A/C Receiver Drier / Desiccant Element 83167, a filter drier desiccant bag kit that installs as a direct-fit replacement across a wide range of Hyundai and Kia applications — including the 2012-2017 Hyundai Accent, 2020-2025 Hyundai Palisade, 2010-2025 Hyundai Tucson, 2006-2017 Kia Rio, and 2011-2024 Kia Sportage. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of covered vehicles.
Because saturated desiccant and trapped contaminants can't be flushed out, replacing the drier is essential anytime the system is opened for service, and replacement is required to validate the compressor warranty. Backed by Four Seasons' mobile A/C experience.
What does this receiver drier / desiccant element do?
It acts as a filter, removing moisture and contaminants from the A/C refrigerant. Its desiccant bag absorbs moisture that flushing cannot remove, helping keep the system clean and dry.
Does it come with installation hardware?
Yes. This kit includes the necessary gaskets, o-rings, seal, and a plug for installation.
When should the receiver drier be replaced?
It should be replaced anytime the A/C system is opened or serviced. A leaking or open system can saturate the desiccant bag within a few hours, making the drier ineffective.
Will replacing it affect my compressor warranty?
Replacement of the drier is required to validate the compressor warranty and must be done whenever the system is serviced.
Will this fit my vehicle?
It's a direct-fit replacement for many Hyundai and Kia models, such as the 2012-2017 Accent, 2010-2025 Tucson, 2006-2017 Rio, and 2011-2024 Sportage. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your vehicle.
