Group 1 Hyundai Southwest Houston invites you to learn why your car or truck air conditioning is not working.
Your vehicle’s air-conditioner stopped working likely because of a bad compressor or a freon leak. Though these might be the simple to spot reasons for the air-conditioning not cooling inside your car, it could also be anything as simple as a dirty cabin filter or a bad compressor belt. Regardless of why or how, when you are expecting the relief of ice-cold air it can be incredibly irritating anytime it won’t come through. Don’t get in a panic, because our experienced auto technicians know what to look for and are there to cool off your ride before the first heatwave hits.
The most likely reason the air-conditioning stopped working is because the car’s AC started leaking. Your vehicle’s air-conditioning system uses freon to lower the ambient air temperature which creates refreshing cold air. Whenever you want that refreshing cool air, it can’t happen if the freon leak occurs. Another reason for your air-conditioning not producing cold air is because your car is a hybrid. The AC system needs the engine power, meaning if your car is in EV mode then the engine will stop running and won’t power the AC.
If your air-conditioning is turned on but the fan stopped blowing then there might be a blown AC fuse. Fuses protect car components from a power surge and while it may just have to be repaired, however, if the AC fuse continues to pop then you likely have a much larger problem. A low level of air-conditioning refrigerant or a possible leak could also be the cause, which our highly skilled technicians can look at.
If the AC starts leaking, you can tell by the damp spots around your car or puddles under your car where it’s parked. For any AC to pump cold air into your car, it has to place all of that moisture it absorbs from the outdoors and should go down the evaporator drain pipe. One more cause might be the AC Refrigerant level being too low which produces a buildup of condensation since the evaporator coils will freeze up. You need to keep a lookout for faulty seals in the AC compartment or the AC’s air filters if this problem keeps happening.
