It holds 20 grams of XH9 desiccant and has a capillary connection at one end and a 1\/4 inch connection at the other, the layout found on fridges and freezers that use a capillary tube. It cross references Electrolux number 4055917589 and Qualtex code RF010X, and is a compatible aftermarket part rather than an Electrolux one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy a filter drier is replaced during sealed system repairs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe filter drier sits between the condenser and the capillary tube. Its desiccant soaks up moisture left in the system, and its screen traps dirt and fine particles before they can block the capillary. Moisture in a sealed system can freeze at the capillary and stop cooling, or react with the oil and refrigerant over time. Whenever a sealed system is opened, for a compressor change, a leak repair or a regas, fitting a fresh drier is standard practice. A blocked drier shows up as a fridge that runs constantly but barely cools, sometimes with frost forming on the drier itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePart details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGeneric aftermarket filter drier by Qualtex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e20g of XH9 desiccant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCapillary connection at one end, 1\/4 inch at the other\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCross references 4055917589 and RF010X\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"part-specs\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDesiccant\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eXH9\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDesiccant weight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eConnections\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCapillary and 1\/4 inch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFitting a filter drier\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnplug the appliance before any work starts. Filter driers are brazed into the sealed refrigeration system, so the job needs a licensed refrigeration technician who holds the right refrigerant handling licence. Keep the drier sealed until the moment it goes in, because the desiccant starts absorbing moisture from the air as soon as the caps come off. After fitting, the system should be pressure tested, evacuated properly and charged by weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about this part\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this drier made by Electrolux?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. QRF010X is a generic aftermarket drier from Qualtex.
