Product Details

The Mando 10A1537 A/C compressor is the main pumping component in the vehicle’s HVAC system. It compresses refrigerant before sending it to the condenser, where the refrigerant changes state and continues through the rest of the air conditioning circuit. When the compressor is worn, leaking, or no longer building pressure, the system can lose cooling performance. This compressor is specified for Kia Forte applications and supports direct replacement needs for 2017-2018 Kia Forte models with Automatic Temperature Control. The part number 10A1537 is used alongside Kia reference numbers 97701-B0100 and 97701B0100.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• No cold air from the vents
• Weak or inconsistent A/C output
• Compressor noise or seizure
• Refrigerant pressure loss from a failing compressor
• A/C system performance issues after compressor wear

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify refrigerant type, pulley groove count, and compressor type before installation. This compressor is listed for 2017-2018 Kia Forte models with Automatic Temperature Control and N/A position fitment. Replace the compressor only after diagnosing the full A/C system, and confirm the system is clean and properly evacuated before recharging with R-134A.
