AC could make ice cubes after replacing Expansion valve, compressor, and dryer.

I finally found dryer hiding out above transmission! Just the place I would have put it. NOT !!

For those who may search in the future:

Compressor mfg by Eagle Products PN 20-09978-AM. $167

Dryer mfg by Parker PN 085098-00 $17.95

Expansion valve mfg.Volvo. by PN 176568 $26

Labor and parts from AC shop $280

Removal and installation of compressor and valve done by me in about 3 hours.

Rich,

Thanks for "clickey". I'm familiar with auto layouts and this seems to follow that. Attached pic shows expansion valve, but no dryer to be found. I suspect I'll find dryer under chassis. Likely place would be at a splice in hose. I didn't see it anywhere near the condenser either.

New expansion valve installed. I proactively installed a new compressor and as soon as I find dryer location I'll be ready for charge.

For my first attempt at posting, it looks like I found the right category for my issue. Thanks to all. You have confirmed what my mechanic deduced. My concern with dryer location is it was suggested that anytime the AC system is opened, the dryer be replaced. I have the expansion valve and dryer on order. I'll be crawling under today in search for the dryer.

PS I've been a member since January and read this forum daily. Many problems have been solved just by reading others posts. Collectively you folks are an encyclopedia of knowledge and have made my 1st year of ownership fun and within budget.

Dash AC will not produce cold air. After a vacuum check and recharge, my mechanic suspects the dryer. (Low side pressure is negative vs specs at +30) I have searched manuals and the chassis itself but can't find it.
