Receiver Dryer: Service and Repair

Receiver/Dryer Desiccant Replacement

NOTE: Install the receiver/dryer as quickly as possible to prevent the system from absorbing moisture from the air.

1. Remove the A/C condenser.




2. Remove the bolts from the A/C condenser, then remove the receiver/dryer (A), the bracket (B), and the O-rings (C).
3. Install the receiver/dryer in the reverse order of removal, and note these items:
- Replace the O-rings with new ones, and apply a thin coat of only the recommended polyol ester (POE) refrigerant oil (SANDEN SE-10Y) before installing them. Be sure to use the correct O-rings for HFC-134a (R-134a) to avoid leakage.
- Using the wrong refrigerant oil can be a safety hazard.
