Signs that indicate your car AC is not working properly:
- The AC is blowing warm or hot air.
- The AC is making strange noises.
- The AC cycles ON and OFF frequently.
- The compressor of the AC is not working.
- There is a noticeable leak in the dashboard.
- A strange odour is coming from the AC.
- The air flow from the vents is very weak.
COMMON CAR AC PROBLEMS AND THEIR SOLUTIONS:
- Leakage of refrigerant: It is the most common AC problem, it can happen
anywhere through the lines, or hoses or its components. It can be repaired once
the problem is diagnosed after inspection.
- Low level of refrigerant: Even with minor leaks, refrigerant levels can get
very low and a quick top off will start the cooling of your car again.
- Blocked condenser: Condenser is responsible for cooling the refrigerant. If
there is any dust or debris in the condenser and it is blocked, then the after
cleaning it will work properly, nut if the condenser is internally plugged, you
may need a replacement.
- Leak in condenser: The only solution for a leak in condenser is to replace
it.
- Faulty fans: Faulty fans need to be replaced.
- Electrical issues: A loose or blown fuse can stop your compressor or
blower. Fuses can be tightened or sometimes need to be replaced. A Qualified
electrician will solve this issue in no-time.
- Compressor problems: Lack of use can cause problems with a car’s
compressor. The compressor is responsible for pressurizing the refrigerant and
keeping it circulating. Get your compressor serviced or changed as per the
issue.
- Evaporator failure: If the evaporator’s coils are damaged then it won’t
absorb the heat produced during cooling. It needs to be replaced.
