What It Helps Address

  • Weak or uneven cabin cooling from a restricted evaporator core
  • Loss of A/C performance caused by internal blockage or corrosion
  • Refrigerant flow issues related to damaged block fittings
  • Replacement needs after evaporator leakage is confirmed
  • Fitment-specific repair for vehicles requiring the listed core dimensions

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s year, make, model, and evaporator configuration before installation. Confirm the inlet and outlet fitting design, along with the core height, length, and thickness, to ensure the replacement matches the original unit. Because this is an HVAC component, proper evacuation, leak checking, and refrigerant recharge procedures should be followed after installation.

Quality Assurance

TYC manufactures this evaporator core to the specified dimensions and configuration for the listed applications. Use the fitment data to confirm compatibility with 2021-2022 Chevrolet Trax, 2013-2014 Chevrolet Trax, 2013-2020 Buick Encore, 2019-2020 Chevrolet Trax, and 2012-2018 Chevrolet Sonic before ordering.
