Four Seasons HVAC Defrost Mode Door Actuator,HVAC Mode Door Actuator P/N:73512
Four Seasons 73206 mode door actuator for the 2006-2010 Kia Optima and other vehicles is the motor that moves the mode door in the HVAC system, which decides whether air goes to the vents, floor or defrost.
When the actuator stops moving the door, air can stay stuck on one setting, or the dash can click when you change modes. Those signs can have other causes. Before you replace it, look over its connector and wiring with the ignition off, and leave any running test to a shop. It also fits the 2006-2009 Kia Sorento and the 2006-2010 Kia Magentis.
Lever arm, gear, cam gear hardware and linkage are included as applicable.
