Product Details

As part of Four Seasons’ Filter Drier product line, this receiver drier is built for A/C system moisture control and refrigerant filtration in a pad mount configuration. The aluminum housing and desiccant media help support proper HVAC system operation by removing moisture and trapping contaminants before they circulate through the system. This part number 83240 is a direct-fit style replacement for select Subaru Forester models and is cross-referenced with UAC RD10176C for the same application.

Compatible With 2003-2008 Subaru Forester, filter drier service. Fits 2003-2008 Subaru Forester, N/A.

Common Problems This Part May Address

• Moisture contamination in the A/C system
• Restricted refrigerant flow from debris in the circuit
• Reduced cooling performance caused by a saturated drier
• Service replacement for a worn or damaged receiver drier
• Seal-related leakage at the pad mount connection points

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify pad mount fitment, inlet and outlet sizing, and overall length before installation. Replace the included O-ring seal during service and inspect mating surfaces for corrosion or damage. Because the desiccant is not replaceable, install the receiver drier only after the system has been properly evacuated and any open-system exposure has been addressed.

Quality Assurance

Four Seasons lists this receiver drier as meeting or exceeding OEM requirements for the specified application. Confirm vehicle year and HVAC configuration against the fitment data for 2003-2008 Subaru Forester before ordering.
