Four Seasons HVAC Recirculation Door Actuator P/N:73596
Take control of your cabin airflow with the Four Seasons HVAC Recirculation Door Actuator 73704. This electric actuator drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2010-2014 Subaru Legacy and 2010-2014 Subaru Outback, driving the recirculation door inside the HVAC case so the system can switch between drawing in fresh outside air and recirculating air already in the cabin.
Signs the actuator may need replacing: a clicking or knocking noise from the dash area, no change in airflow source when you press the recirculate button, or a door that stays stuck on fresh or recirculated air. Diagnose the cause before replacing, since these symptoms can also stem from the door, controls, or wiring.
