On variable displacement compressors, the control valve regulates refrigerant displacement based on cabin demand. When it fails, the compressor stops responding correctly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis valve is a direct replacement for the control solenoid in \u003cstrong\u003eSanden PEX13 and PEX16\u003c\/strong\u003e variable displacement compressors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"background-color:#fff9e6;border-left:4px solid #ffcc00;padding:15px;margin:20px 0;\"\u003e\n  \u003cstrong\u003eImportant — Order by Visual Match:\u003c\/strong\u003e Always compare the valve in your compressor with the product photos before ordering.
