Now while this may or may not be a repair you would attempt depending on your equipment, it is still one of those very good to know items lurking in your Escape just waiting to fail and then it gets real expensive! I personally own an Escape and replaced mine as even with my free labor and hefty parts discount it would still be a expensive job if it failed and destroyed the rest of the A/C system. Just an FYI for all Escape owners in case you already didn't know.

 

Any new info on this?No TSB?.I can't find anything.Very worried,have a 09' XLS,only 30K.Hate to have this happen.Fixed income.I posted a thread and have only one response that said never heard of this type of failure in any A/C unit...Really enjoy your vids...Let us know,thank you...

 

well my 09 has 110,000 miles on it...no AC problem. Not saying the dryer can't or won't fail, just mine has not ....yet

 

Thank you for the reply...Mine only has 30K on it,retired,it's the grocery getter!...I hope more people post on this,Ford only sold a zillion of these years Escapes.seems like there could be more on this,I'll keep researching,thanks again.

 

places like ALLDATA sell TSB info. Just because there is a TSB does not mean "your" car has the problem.

If there is one specific to the dryer it would be covered under whatever new car warranty one had....of which the 2009 is long past at any mileage unless you have some form of "extended" warranty. Those are often by 3rd party providers which may have restrictions on what is actually covered...and often involve a "deductible".

I would not lose much sleep over this if your AC is working. At 30k mi your car sounds like it is rarely used or really short drives. If is a good idea to use the AC vs not using it for long periods of time just to keep all its seals in good shape

 

Thank you again.Average 5 miles a day.Florida,
