Receiver Dryer: Service and Repair

Note: The accumulator contains an absorbing agent which is designed to absorb any moisture in the system. For this reason, air must not be allowed to get into the accumulator, otherwise the moisture from the air will be absorbed.

The accumulator's location, working and appearance vary from model to model and year to year.

Note: Always install a new accumulator if the coolant circuit has been broken or there is suspected moisture in the system.
