Keep the refrigerant flowing clean and dry with the Four Seasons A/C Receiver Drier with Hose Assembly / Refrigerant Discharge Hose 83143.

The receiver drier should be replaced any time the A/C system is opened for service, and replacement is required to validate the compressor warranty. If a saturated or contaminated drier is behind poor cooling or moisture in your system, this unit replaces it.
What does this receiver drier do?
It acts as a filter, removing moisture and contaminants from the air conditioning system using a desiccant bag. These contaminants cannot be removed by flushing, so replacing the drier is essential during service.
Which vehicles does the 83143 fit?
It is a direct-fit replacement for the 2008-2012 Ford Escape, 2008-2011 Mazda Tribute, and 2008-2011 Mercury Mariner. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm engine-level fitment for your vehicle.
Does it come with installation hardware?
Yes. The necessary gaskets, o-rings and seal are included for installation.
Do I need to replace the drier when servicing the A/C?
Replacement is recommended any time the system is opened for service, and it is required to validate the compressor warranty. A leaking or open system can saturate the desiccant within hours.
Why can't the old drier just be flushed clean?
The contaminants and moisture the drier collects cannot be removed by flushing. Once the desiccant is saturated the drier becomes ineffective, so it must be replaced rather than cleaned.
