Air Conditioning: Receiver/Drier

NOTE: Installation of a new receiver/drier cartridge is not required when repairing the air conditioning system, except when there is physical evidence of contamination from a failed A/C compressor or damage to the receiver/drier cartridge.

The receiver/drier is integral to the A/C condenser/power steering combo cooler. It stores high-pressure liquid after it leaves the condenser core. A receiver/drier cartridge mounted inside the receiver/drier removes any retained moisture from the refrigerant. The receiver/drier cartridge is a separate component and can be removed and installed separately from the A/C condenser/power steering combo cooler.
