The filter drier, well, it does exactly what it sounds like. It cleans the refrigerant, gets rid of moisture and debris. Think of it like a first line of defense. The accumulator stores extra liquid refrigerant and makes sure only vaporized refrigerant gets to your compressor. It helps regulate the flow and prevents liquid refrigerant from damaging the compressor. They sit inline with the refrigerant lines. The filter drier usually comes right after the condenser, and the accumulator is usually placed before the compressor. They're both crucial parts of the closed loop that makes your AC cold. If you’re having trouble with your AC blowing cold, or it’s blowing weak, these are definitely things to check. These protect the more expensive parts of your AC system. The compressor is a big – ticket item, and liquid refrigerant can really damage it. The accumulator and filter drier act like a shield for that compressor. If the filter drier gets clogged, it restricts refrigerant flow and your AC won’t cool well. If the accumulator fails, liquid refrigerant can get to the compressor and cause serious, expensive damage. You’ll notice if either one is going bad because your AC will start to lose cooling power or might blow warm. You can find a replacement for either of these at places like Fixparts Online, and honestly, it's a pretty straightforward swap if you’re comfortable doing a bit of DIY work.
