Receiver-Drier Repair Procedures

Replacement

1. 1
   Remove the condenser.
2. 2
   Remove the cap (B) at the bottom of the condenser using an L-shaped wrench (A).

   

   Tightening torque: 9.81 ~ 14.7 N·m

3. 3
   Remove the receiver-drier (A) from the condenser using long-nose pliers. Check whether the receiver-drier is crumbled and whether the lower cap filter is clogged.

   

4. 4
   Apply compressor oil along the O-rings and threads of the new lower cap.
5. 5
   Insert the new receiver-drier into the receiver-drier tank. The receiver-drier must be sealed in vacuum before exposure to air for use.
6. 6
   Install the new lower cap on the condenser.

   Always replace the receiver-drier and lower cap at the same time. Replace the O-rings with new ones at each fitting and apply a thin coat of refrigerant oil before installation. Be sure to use the correct O-rings for R-134a to prevent leakage. Be careful not to damage the radiator and condenser fins when installing the condenser. Charge the system and check that it operates properly.
