Give your air conditioning a proper place to shed heat with the Spectra Premium ac condenser, part number 7-4616. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1995-2000 Dodge Stratus, 1996-2000 Chrysler Sebring and 1995-2000 Chrysler Cirrus, as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications.
The condenser releases heat from the refrigerant. It turns the hot, high-pressure vapor leaving the compressor into liquid so the system can continue its cooling cycle. When a condenser leaks or its fins are damaged, the A/C can struggle to cool the cabin.
- Reverse engineered for fit: Spectra Premium reverse engineers its A/C condensers to ensure proper fit at installation.
- OEM construction style: Supplied in the same construction style as the original equipment unit.
- Quality materials: Manufactured with the highest quality materials.
- Specialty testing: Built with an emphasis on specialty testing aimed at leak-free performance and reduced movement and vibration.
Signs this part may need replacing: warm or weak air from the vents, refrigerant leaks or oily residue on the condenser, and bent, corroded or clogged fins. Other A/C components can produce similar symptoms, so diagnose the system before replacing parts.
Installation note: The refrigerant must be recovered before the old condenser comes out. Afterward the system must be evacuated and recharged, which is work best left to a technician with proper A/C service equipment.

Is this the right ac condenser for a 1996-2000 Chrysler Sebring?
Yes. It's listed for the 1996-2000 Chrysler Sebring, along with the 1995-2000 Dodge Stratus and 1995-2000 Chrysler Cirrus. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.
What are signs my condenser may need replacing?
Warm or weak vent air, refrigerant leaks or oily residue, and bent or clogged fins are common signs. Other A/C parts can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the system first.
How does Spectra Premium test its condensers?
Spectra Premium emphasizes specialty testing aimed at leak-free performance and reduced movement and vibration.
Does installing a condenser require A/C service?
