Rick-  Just my $.02 FWIW

Buy another receiver/drier and log the experience as another "lesson learned".  Evacuating your questionable drier does nothing; baking it does little to renew it either.

When you evacuate your system for recharge you may want to do what the "better" shops do; namely, use the "triple evacuation" method.  Even with my 2-stage pump with 75 micron capability, I used this method.  It was what I told my DIYer friends to do ..... especially when they were (often) using a rented vacuum pump.

1.  Evacuate the system
2.  Break the vacuum to approx 1 atm with refrigerant
3.  Repeat (1) and (2)
4.  Evacuate the system again and charge to specs.

Good luck on the fix, and safe travels to ya.
