Four Seasons A/C Accumulator P/N:33352
Keep your air conditioning system clean and dry with the Four Seasons A/C Accumulator, part number 83159. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2008-2009 Dodge Caliber, 2008-2009 Jeep Compass, and 2008-2009 Jeep Patriot — see the Buyer's Guide tab for full engine coverage. The accumulator / filter drier removes moisture and contaminants from the refrigerant that flushing cannot clear, which is why replacing it is essential whenever the system is opened or serviced.
A leaking or "open" system can saturate the desiccant bag within a few hours, making the accumulator ineffective. Replacing the accumulator / filter drier anytime the system is serviced is also required to validate compressor warranty. Backed by over 50 years of mobile A/C experience from Four Seasons.

What does an A/C accumulator do?
It acts as a filter drier, using a desiccant bag to remove moisture and capturing contaminants circulating in the air conditioning system that flushing cannot remove.
Does this unit include installation hardware?
Yes. The necessary gaskets, o-rings, and seal are included to make installation easier.
When should the accumulator be replaced?
It should be replaced anytime the A/C system is opened or serviced. Doing so is also required to validate compressor warranty.
Why can't the system just be flushed instead?
Flushing cannot remove the moisture and contaminants trapped in the accumulator / filter drier, so replacing the unit is essential when servicing the system.
