Four Seasons brings more than 50 years of mobile A/C experience to its accumulator and filter drier line. The desiccant may need replacing if the A/C system has leaked or been opened for repair, or before the system is recharged after a major component such as the compressor is replaced. If moisture in the system is causing reduced cooling, a fresh desiccant element helps absorb it. Diagnose the cause of any cooling problem before replacing parts.
What does the Four Seasons 83167 desiccant element do?
Its desiccant bag absorbs moisture in the A/C system. The filter drier also acts as a filter, removing moisture and contaminants from the air conditioning system.
What is included with part 83167?
It is a filter drier desiccant bag kit supplied with a plug.
When should the receiver drier desiccant be replaced?
Four Seasons states the filter drier must be replaced anytime the A/C system is serviced. Replacement is also required to validate its compressor warranty.
Why not just flush the system and keep the old desiccant?
Four Seasons notes that the contaminants a filter drier removes cannot be removed by flushing. A leaking or open system can also saturate the desiccant bag within a few hours, making the drier ineffective.
