2010 Ford Escape - A/C Discharge Hose

Ford Escape A/C Discharge Hose

The A/C discharge hose on your Ford Escape helps cycle refrigerant by carrying hot, high-pressure gas refrigerant from the A/C compressor to the A/C condenser. Due to heat and pressure in the A/C system, the hoses, fittings, and seals may wear out over time. It's also possible for the A/C discharge hose to clog. This can result in refrigerant loss from leaks or a disruption in cycling efficiency, and may cause your Escape's A/C to stop generating cold air. If you notice these symptoms, inspect the discharge hose for signs of cracks, brittleness, or leaks, and replace it if it has failed before recharging the A/C system. When servicing the A/C in your Ford Escape, O'Reilly Auto Parts has replacement A/C discharge hoses, refrigerant, and other A/C parts for a complete air conditioning repair.
