Help your air conditioning shed cabin heat the way it was designed to with the DENSO Auto Parts A/C Condenser 477-0629, a direct-fit Honda CR-V AC condenser for the 2002-2006 Honda CR-V that also fits the 2003-2009 Honda Element. DENSO describes this condenser as OE quality. Like every DENSO First Time Fit® A/C component, it is designed and manufactured to work seamlessly with the vehicle's original air conditioning system.
- High-efficiency design: intended to reduce compressor load and boost heat transfer for OE-grade performance and full condensation.
- Zinc diffusion layer: added to enhance the condenser's durability.
- Advanced fin-and-tube design: also contributes to durability.
- Benchmarked against OE: DENSO states its condensers match up to OE condensers at every benchmark.
The condenser releases heat from the hot, high-pressure refrigerant leaving the compressor, so the refrigerant changes from a vapor into a liquid before it moves on through the system. DENSO's condenser range includes multiflow, subcooling and serpentine styles, and the company chooses the configuration to suit each application.
Signs a condenser may need replacing include warm or weak airflow from the vents, visible refrigerant oil residue on the core, and bent, corroded or blocked fins. Other A/C components can cause the same symptoms, so diagnose the system before replacing parts. Replacing a condenser requires recovering and recharging the refrigerant with proper equipment. Follow the vehicle service information for the full procedure. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for complete fitment details.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which vehicles does the DENSO 477-0629 A/C condenser fit?
It is a direct-fit replacement for the 2002-2006 Honda CR-V and the 2003-2009 Honda Element. Check the "Vehicles it fits" section to confirm it matches your vehicle.
What does an A/C condenser do?
It releases heat from the high-pressure refrigerant leaving the compressor so the refrigerant condenses into a liquid. The A/C system needs that step to produce cool air at the vents.
What are signs the A/C condenser may need replacing?
Warm or weak air from the vents, refrigerant leaks, or bent, blocked or corroded fins may mean the condenser needs replacing. Have the system diagnosed first, since other A/C parts can cause the same symptoms.
What features does this DENSO condenser have?
DENSO uses a high-efficiency design intended to reduce compressor load and boost heat transfer. It adds a zinc diffusion layer and an advanced fin-and-tube design to enhance durability.
Can I install this condenser myself?
The refrigerant has to be recovered and the system recharged with proper A/C equipment, so many owners use a qualified technician. Follow the vehicle service information for the full procedure.
