Subaru Forester A/C Accumulator

The Subaru Forester A/C Accumulator is a cylinder-shaped part that removes moisture, oil, and debris from the air conditioning system to keep it clean and dry before refrigerant returns to the compressor. The A/C Accumulator is located between the evaporator and the compressor in every Subaru Forester. Inside that accumulator is a desiccant bag that absorbs water in the refrigerant and traps any particles that are carried along with that refrigerant. The device protects the compressor against internal damage and aids the cooling system continuously by capturing these contaminants in the low pressure section. The A/C Accumulator provides a place for excess refrigerant to collect and allows only the correct vapor amount to move on. Every Subaru Forester utilizes this function to stop the liquid refrigerant from entering the compressor and causing harmful slugging. Replacement of the A/C Accumulator is advised whenever the sealed system is opened since moisture and trapped debris cannot be flushed out. The moisture control function in this part is also performed in a receiver drier elsewhere in the line. The A/C Accumulator works only on the low pressure side. Subaru Forester air conditioning maintenance keeps it efficient.

Subaru Forester A/C Accumulator Parts Questions & Experts Answers

  • Q:
    How to Replace the A/C Accumulator in an R-134a System on a Subaru Forester?
    Posted by Shawn P.
    A:
    Have an AC technician discharge and recover the refrigerant. Disconnect the battery's negative terminal, remove the refrigerant lines from the A/C accumulator, and cap them to prevent dirt or moisture entry. Disconnect the pressure switch's electrical connector, remove the A/C accumulator's bracket bolt, and remove the unit. Install new O-rings onto the line fittings, lightly coat them with refrigerant oil, and tighten the fittings. Use only AC-specific O-rings. If replacing the A/C accumulator, add 10 ml of refrigerant oil. Reconnect the battery and have the system evacuated, charged, and leak tested. Add additional refrigerant oil when replacing components. Ensure oil compatibility with the R-134a system. Note: On certain models, the A/C accumulator is integrated with the condenser and not separately serviceable.
