5 Common Car AC Issues
Here are some of the most typical issues people experience with their car AC:
- Refrigerant leak
- Broken cooling fans
- Compressor problems
- Blocked or broken condenser
- Electrical complications
If you suspect one of these complications may be causing your AC to stop working, we recommend investigating and then bringing your car into our shop. Your local dealer can easily help resolve any of these issues so you can have a refreshing, worry-free summer.
Diagnosing the Problem
When you notice that your AC isn’t cooling your car properly, it can be stressful to try and determine the cause of the problem. Here are a few ways you can figure out what’s wrong with your AC:
Pay Attention to the Air Pressure While It’s Turned On
Ensure that the AC changes air pressure when you adjust the settings from high to low. Additionally, the air should be coming from only the vents you have selected. If the air pressure doesn’t change or is coming from the wrong vents (or not at all), make sure to let us know when you bring your car in.
Smell the Air Coming from the AC Unit
If you notice strange smells coming from the AC while it’s turned on, this could mean there’s a leak somewhere. Because leaks can cause serious damage to your vehicle, it’s crucial that you get the issue checked out ASAP.
Listen for Any Unusual Noises
Noises coming from the AC unit could indicate an issue with the compressor. If this is the case, you should take your vehicle in for a compressor replacement.
Check Out the Fuses
Another common issue that car air conditioning units face is broken fuses. Use the manual that came with your car to determine where the fuses are located, and then see whether they’re broken.
See if the Cabin Air Filter is Blocked
A blocked air filter can cause unusual smells or lower air pressure. To fix the problem, you just need to replace the filter. Bring your car in to our shop to get this done quickly and easily.
