Keep refrigerant moving through your A/C system with the Four Seasons A/C Compressor (MPN 198376). It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications: the 2013-2018 Hyundai Santa Fe, the 2013-2019 Hyundai Santa Fe XL, and the 2013-2015 Kia Sorento.
An A/C compressor is the pump at the heart of the air-conditioning system, drawing in low-pressure refrigerant vapor and compressing it so it can circulate through the condenser, expansion device, and evaporator. Driven by an engine belt, it engages through its pulley when cooling is requested.
- Core job: compresses and circulates refrigerant to move heat out of the cabin air.
- Belt-driven operation: runs off the engine's accessory-belt drive and engages when the A/C is switched on.
- Signs this part may need replacing: weak or no cold air, a grinding or squealing noise from the compressor, the clutch failing to engage, or refrigerant seepage at the shaft.
If a failed compressor is the cause of your A/C trouble, this unit replaces it. Have the system diagnosed first, since A/C faults can also stem from the refrigerant charge, condenser, or controls.
Manufacturer part number 198376.
