Few things can be more irritating than driving around on a hot summer’s day with a broken AC system. If you’ve had enough of your car AC not working properly, rest assured that there are ways to get it fixed once and for all. Keep reading to learn more, and visit your local MINI dealer for more help.
5 Top Reasons Why Car ACs Stop Working
1. Low Refrigerant Level
The refrigerant is a fluid found in your car’s AC that absorbs heat and cools the air. If your car is low on refrigerant, your car’s AC won’t be cooling properly.
Luckily, replenishing the refrigerant levels is a pretty simple fix. However, low refrigerant levels could potentially indicate that there is a leak in your AC system. Take it to a specialist to get the refrigerant replenished and your AC checked out for any leaks.
2. Electrical Issues
Electrical issues can range from a blown fuse to a major problem with your car’s system. If your car’s AC isn’t working at all, then you might be dealing with an electrical issue. Always have a professional take a look at your car if you suspect electrical issues. The last thing you want is to injure yourself!
3. Blower Problems
The blower is the part of your car’s AC system that gets the air from outside into your car. You may be dealing with a broken blower if the car’s AC system seems to be on, but no air is coming out from the vents. A professional will be able to tell you if the blower needs to be replaced.
4. Malfunctioning AC Condenser
Your car’s AC condenser helps the refrigerant cool the air by condensing it into a liquid. This allows the refrigerant to absorb heat from the air, thus getting it as cold as you’d like it. If you notice that your AC just isn’t cooling air effectively, you may be dealing with a faulty AC condenser.
5. Faulty AC Compressor
Like the condenser, the AC compressor helps the refrigerant cool down the air by keeping it moving around your car’s AC system. If your AC compressor is faulty, then the refrigerant won’t be able to cool as much air, resulting in an underperforming AC system.
