Buy Nissan Rogue A/C Condensers

The Nissan Rogue A/C condenser-also called an air-conditioning radiator or heat-exchange coil-sits in front of the engine radiator. It turns hot, high-pressure refrigerant gas into a cool liquid, letting the SUV's cabin stay comfortable in every season. Common failure signs are warm air at the vents, visible leaks, or the A/C cycling on and off. Replacement parts differ by model year, so always match the correct part number. Proper cleaning, leak-free service, and EPA-approved refrigerant handling keep the system working and protect the environment. (MotorTrend, RepairPal.com, Nissan Parts, US EPA)

• The condenser's thin aluminum tubes and fins dump heat picked up inside the cabin. As air flows over the fins, the refrigerant changes from vapor to liquid. (MotorTrend)
• It lives in front of the Rogue's radiator, so it needs clear airflow to work well. (MotorTrend)
• If a compressor fails, metal debris often lodges in the condenser and can ruin a new compressor if the circuit is not flushed. (AA1Car)

Always verify the eight-digit part code on the old unit before ordering.

• Warm air even with the A/C on high. (RepairPal.com)
• Puddles or oily stripes on the condenser or under the bumper. (MotorTrend)
• Rapid cycling of the compressor clutch as pressure spikes. (AA1Car)
• A hissing sound after shut-off caused by high head pressure. (AA1Car)

• Road debris bends fins and cuts tubes.
• Corrosion eats away at joints, especially in coastal areas.
• Refrigerant contamination raises pressures and overheats the core. (US EPA)
• Mis-routed A/C hoses or factory bulletins can rub a hole in the tank and cause leaks on some model-year Rogues. (NHTSA)

1. Depressurize the system with EPA-certified recovery gear-venting is illegal. (US EPA)
2. Remove the bumper cover and upper tie-bar to reach mounting bolts.
3. Cap open lines to keep dirt out.
4. Install the new condenser, replace O-rings, and torque fittings evenly.
5. Evacuate for 30 minutes, then charge with the correct refrigerant weight. See specs below.
6. Rinse condenser fins with low-pressure water; never bend them with a high-pressure washer. (YourMechanic)

• Spray bugs and dirt off the fins every oil-change to keep airflow strong. (Be Car Care Aware)
• Change the cabin air filter on schedule; a clogged filter can trick drivers into thinking the condenser is bad.
• Run the A/C for five minutes each week, even in winter, to keep seals lubricated. (AA1Car)

Federal law bans releasing refrigerant into the air. Only certified technicians or DIYers using approved recovery machines may service an MVAC system. (US EPA, US EPA)
Newer Rogues use climate-friendly R-1234yf, which needs special fittings and oil. Mixing R-134a and R-1234yf is prohibited. (Automotive Tech Info, EPA)
