Has anyone ever had a desiccant bag explode in their evaporator/drier canister in the cab a/c system? My cab a/c wasn't blowing very cold so I had my mechanic check into it. He said the evaporator exploded and desiccant beads have migrated all throughout the a/c system, meaning I need a new evaporator/drier, expansion valve and a complete chemical flush before he can recharge the system. He told me this was going to cost $800 and it might not fix the problem if the beads worked their way into the condenser and/or compressor. He couldn't quote me a worst case scenario price because he says many of the parts that may be required must come from Winnebago instead of Workhorse.
I'm just wondering how expensive this might wind up being if the entire system has been contaminated.

The design may be different now.
