Four Seasons A/C Receiver Drier P/N:33478
Help remove moisture and contaminants from your air conditioning system with the Four Seasons A/C Receiver Drier / Filter Drier, part number 33380. This steel filter drier uses a desiccant bag to absorb moisture inside the system. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1976 Ford E100 Van, 1976 Ford E150 Van and 1976 Ford E250 Van. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.
The drier works as a filter for the A/C system, removing moisture and contaminants. Four Seasons notes that flushing cannot remove these contaminants. This part is listed under both names: A/C receiver drier and filter drier.
When to replace: Four Seasons states that an open or leaking system can saturate the desiccant bag within a few hours, which makes the drier ineffective. The manufacturer also says the drier must be replaced to validate compressor warranty and must be replaced any time the system is serviced.
