Sterling McCall GMC invites you to understand why your car ac is not working.
Your car’s air-conditioning stopped working because of a freon leak or a bad compressor. Though these causes may be the obvious reasons for your air-conditioner not working in the car, a dirty cabin filter or a bad compressor belt may also be the culprit. No matter why or how, it can be very disappointing when ice-cold air isn’t there to combat the hot weather outside. Don’t get in a panic, because our well-versed technicians are trained to help resolve these problems and are there to get your vehicle prepared before the first heatwave hits.
The most likely reason your air-conditioner stopped cooling is because your car’s AC is leaking. The vehicle’s AC unit uses freon to lower the ambient air temperature and produces some refreshing cold air. Anytime there is a freon leak on your car there is no way to cool the air. Another reason that your AC isn’t producing cold air is that your car is a hybrid. The air-conditioner system uses the engine power, so the AC isn’t getting any power if your vehicle is in EV mode and the engine stops running.
If the air-conditioning is on but the fan isn’t blowing cold air then you might have a blown AC fuse. Fuses help protect vehicle components from a power surge and while it might just need to get replaced, if your AC fuse keeps popping then it’s possible there’s a larger problem at hand. There’s can be the possibility that the vehicle’s AC Compressor is suffering from a low amount of AC refrigerant or a possible leak that has to be looked at.
If you’ve noticed damp spots around or in your vehicle recently, that could be because of an air-conditioner leak in your vehicle. When your air-conditioner is producing cold air inside your vehicle, it needs to displace all the moisture it uses from the outdoors and should leave through the evaporator drain pipe. Another cause might be the AC Refrigerant amount being low which leads to the evaporator coils freezing up and an overflow of condensation. You should also keep an eye out for faulty seals in the air-conditioning compartment or the AC’s air filters if this issue keeps happening.
