Auto Air Conditioning: Most Common Problems

posted on 7/28/2020 9:33:49 AM
It’s a dreadful feeling getting into your vehicle and finding that the air conditioning won’t work on a hot day. A properly functioning A/C system is essential for your vehicle if you want to enjoy a comfortable ride. It is responsible for ventilation and keeping your vehicle cool. With proper maintenance, the A/C should provide long-term service. Having an efficiently working car air conditioner is not a luxury, but a necessity, especially during the summer months. Nothing can be quite as miserable as driving in Washington traffic jam with the windows rolled down, hoping for at least a little breeze to lighten the misery of a hot day.

Warm air either blows out of your vents or a crisis that completely shut down the entire air conditioning system.  
 

Most Common Car A/C Problems

Electrical Issues
 
Electrical problems can cause mysterious problems in your air conditioning system. Sensors failure or wires short can cause problems to appear one minute and be gone the next. Electric fans that cool the condenser at the front of your car also serves as cooling fans for your engine’s cooling system as well, so if they fail it can cause even bigger problems. These fans usually fail due to blown fuses or bad relays, but sometimes the fan motor can short or burn up as well.  
 
AC Leakage
 
Refrigerant is used in your auto A/C system to eliminate the heat. The system may leak refrigerant due to wear and damage of the rubber seals, grommets and O-rings in your AC system. These degraded components must be replaced to restore you’re A/C system to proper working order. Slow leaks often leave you with cool but not cold air and can cause your system to lose efficiency.
 
Compressor Problems
 
The compressor is designed to pump refrigerant around the AC system. When there is an issue with the compressor, your entire system will probably stop working. The compressor can be replaced if the issue is minor such as a broken service clutch, but major issues will require replacement. 
 
Worn Belts
 
There are belts and pulleys in the air conditioning set-up, and these are connected to the engine. The belts can wear out over time, so you should check their status regularly and replace as them necessary.
