Service Overview
The evaporator is the cold radiator hidden in your dash. When it leaks, refrigerant disappears with no visible trace — confirmed by dye or electronic sniffer at the drain.
The job involves dash and HVAC-box disassembly, the evaporator core, new expansion valve and seals, mandatory drier replacement, vacuum and weighed recharge.
Signs You Need This Service
- A/C needs recharging repeatedly with no visible leak
- Oily film at the evaporator drain tube
- Faint refrigerant smell at the vents
- Dye detected at the drain
Consequences of Ignoring It
- Endless recharge costs that exceed the repair over time
- Compressor oil loss with each leak — risking the bigger failure
- No reliable A/C, ever, until fixed
Recommended Service Interval
No interval — evaporator failure is corrosion-driven, more common in humid climates.
