Keep the A/C system dry and clean with the Four Seasons A/C Receiver Drier / Desiccant Element (MPN 83379), a filter drier desiccant bag kit supplied with plug. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2013-2022 Buick Encore and 2013-2022 Chevrolet Trax — see the Buyer's Guide tab for full engine-level fitment.
The receiver drier / desiccant element works as a filter, drawing moisture and contaminants out of the refrigerant circuit — the kind of debris that flushing cannot remove, which is why replacing this component during service is essential.
Backed by Four Seasons' long experience in mobile A/C components and produced in an ISO/TS16949 & ISO14001 certified facility.

This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:
What does this receiver drier / desiccant element do?
It acts as a filter, removing moisture and contaminants from the A/C system. The desiccant bag absorbs moisture that flushing cannot remove, helping protect the rest of the refrigerant circuit.
Which vehicles does MPN 83379 fit?
It's a direct-fit replacement for the 2013-2022 Buick Encore and 2013-2022 Chevrolet Trax. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the exact engine-level fitment for your vehicle.
Does the kit include installation hardware?
Yes. The kit ships with the necessary gaskets, o-rings, and seal, plus the plug, so you have the sealing pieces needed for installation.
When should the drier be replaced?
Replace it any time the A/C system is opened or serviced. A leaking or open system can saturate the desiccant bag within hours, making the unit ineffective.
Why can't the system just be flushed instead?
The contaminants this component captures cannot be removed by flushing, so replacing the receiver drier / desiccant element is the recommended way to restore proper filtration during service.
