Sterling McCall Chevrolet invites you to learn why your car or truck air conditioning is not cooling correctly.
Your vehicle’s air-conditioner not working is likely caused by a freon leak or a failing compressor. While these causes are the simple to spot reasons that your air-conditioning isn’t cooling inside your car, it could also be anything as simple as a bad compressor belt or a dirty cabin air filter. Regardless of why or how, when you are expecting the relief of cold air it can be incredibly disappointing whenever it won’t come through. Don’t get in a panic, because our well-versed technicians know what to spot and are there to cool off your ride before the first heatwave arrives.
The most likely reason the air-conditioning isn’t cooling is your vehicle’s AC started leaking. Your vehicle’s air-conditioning system uses freon to lower the ambient air temperature which produces some refreshing cold air. When there is a freon leak on your car there is no way to cool the air. Another source that your air-conditioning isn’t producing cold air is because your vehicle is a hybrid. The AC system needs the engine power, so the air-conditioning won’t be getting any power if your vehicle is using EV mode and the engine isn’t running.
If your AC is turned on but the fan stopped working then there might be a defective AC fuse. These fuses protect components of a vehicle from a possible power surge and even though it may just need to get replaced, however, if the air-conditioning fuse keeps popping then it’s likely there could be a much larger issue at hand. A low level of AC refrigerant or a possible leak might also be the issue, which our highly skilled technicians can repair.
If you’ve seen some damp spots around or in your vehicle recently, that might be a result of an air-conditioning leak in your vehicle. When your air-conditioner is pumping cold air into your vehicle, it needs to place all the moisture it’s used from outside and should leave through the evaporator drain pipe. 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 an eye out for faulty seals in the AC compartment or the air-conditioner’s air filters if the problem keeps happening.
