Detailed Description

This A/C receiver drier filters moisture and debris from the refrigerant circuit while storing liquid refrigerant for the HVAC system. The aluminum construction and pad mount design match the factory-style layout used on select applications, including 2002-2007 Buick Rendezvous, 2001-2005 Pontiac Aztek, 2001-2006 Pontiac Montana, 2005-2006 Chevrolet Uplander, 2005-2006 Saturn Relay, 2005-2006 Buick Terraza, 2006-2007 Pontiac Solstice, 2007 Saturn Sky, and 2001-2004 Oldsmobile Silhouette. This part cross-references UAC RD10055C for the same application.

Common Repair Uses

• Restores moisture control in an A/C system after component replacement
• Addresses restricted refrigerant flow caused by contamination in the filter drier
• Supports proper system performance after compressor service
• Replaces a leaking or corroded receiver drier assembly
• Helps correct poor cooling caused by a saturated desiccant element

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify pad mount fitment, inlet and outlet size, and overall length before installation. Replace the included seals during service and evacuate the system before recharging refrigerant. Because the desiccant is not replaceable, install the drier only after the system has been opened and contamination has been addressed.

Quality Assurance

Four Seasons lists this receiver drier as meeting or exceeding OEM requirements for the specified applications. The Filter Drier line is built for direct replacement service on factory-style HVAC layouts.
