I had not idea you could do this. My first condenser when down to a rock. Replaced it with a new one from Rock Auto. Brandy, the green one, went down due to a Camry driving through the trunk. But I kept the condenser.
New one had a condenser with a few chunks out of it and a very slow leak (months to lose charge). I got ready to replace it with the one from Brandy and realized I forgot to cap off the openings. So, Dryer has been exposed to Florida weather for almost a year.
Got ready to buy a new one, went out and looked at it one last time, and the end of the tank comes off. Once it comes off, you pull out a tube of filter material, a filter and the dryer beads. A replacement tube costs about $12 from amazon, or $22 from autozone.
Who knew. A 10 mm hex key opens it up.
Beats the snot out of buying a new dryer / condenser combo.
Just thought I would share.
