Questions and Answers

What is the primary function of this expansion valve?
It acts as a metering device that converts high-pressure liquid refrigerant into a low-pressure mist, allowing it to absorb heat effectively as it passes through the evaporator.
Which vehicles utilize the 97626-1R000 EXPANSION VALVE?
It is standard fitment for the Hyundai Accent (2011–2017) and Kia Rio (2012–2017), covering various 1.4L and 1.6L engine configurations.
What are the symptoms of a failing A/C expansion valve?
Common signs include the A/C blowing warm air, frost forming on the A/C vents, or the compressor constantly running without cooling the cabin.
Is this component a direct replacement for the original part?
Absolutely. This block-type valve is manufactured to meet exact OE dimensional and pressure-rating standards, ensuring it seats perfectly against the evaporator fire-wall connections.
Should I replace the receiver drier when changing the expansion valve?
Yes, it is a professional best practice to replace the drier or desiccant bag whenever the system is opened to prevent moisture from damaging the new 97626-1R000 EXPANSION VALVE.
