Genesis of Southwest Houston invites you to learn why your car or truck ac is not working correctly.
Your vehicle’s air-conditioner stopped working because of a freon leak or a bad compressor. While these are the most obvious reasons that the air-conditioning isn’t cooling in your car, a dirty cabin filter or a bad belt could also be the culprit. Regardless of how or why when you are counting on the sweet relief of ice-cold air it is incredibly irritating anytime it won’t come through. Don’t get in a panic, because our well-versed auto technicians will easily resolve any problems and are ready to cool off your ride before the first heatwave hits.
The most likely reason the AC stopped working is the vehicle’s AC is leaking. The vehicle’s air-conditioning unit needs freon to lower the ambient air temperature and creates some needed cold air. Anytime you’ll need some refreshing cool air, it won’t be possible when the freon leak happens. Another reason for your air-conditioner not producing cold air is that your vehicle is a hybrid. The AC system needs the engine power, so if your vehicle is in EV mode then the engine will stop running and won’t power the air-conditioning.
If your AC is turned on but the fan isn’t blowing cold air then there might be a blown AC fuse. Fuses help protect vehicle components from a power surge and while it might just need to get repaired, however, if the air-conditioning fuse continues to pop then it’s possible you have a larger issue at hand. There’s can be a chance that the car’s AC Compressor might be affected by a low level of AC refrigerant or a possible leak that has to be repaired.
If you’ve noticed some damp spots in or around your car recently, that could be because of an air-conditioner leak in your vehicle. When your air-conditioner is pumping cold air into your vehicle, it has to displace all the moisture it’s absorbed from the outdoors and should go down the evaporator drain. This could also be caused by the AC Refrigerant amount being too low which leads to the evaporator coils freezing up and an overflow of condensation. You should also have a lookout for faulty seals in the AC compartment or the AC’s air filters just in case the problem keeps happening.
