Lexus of Albuquerque invites you to learn why your car air conditioning is not cooling.
Your car’s AC not working is most likely caused by a bad compressor or a freon leak. While these are the simple to spot reasons for your air-conditioner not working inside your vehicle, a bad compressor belt or a dirty cabin air filter could also be the problem. Regardless of how or why it can be very disappointing when cold air isn’t on to combat hot weather. Don’t get in a panic, because our well-versed auto technicians know what to spot and are there to cool off your ride before the first heatwave hits.
The most likely reason your AC stopped working is the car’s air-conditioner started leaking. The vehicle’s AC unit needs freon to lower the ambient air temperature and creates refreshing cold air. Whenever 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 because the car is a hybrid. The air-conditioner system uses the engine power, meaning the AC isn’t getting any power if your vehicle is using EV mode and the engine stops running.
If your air-conditioner is turned on and the fan isn’t working then you may have a defective AC fuse. Fuses protect components of a vehicle from a possible power surge and while it might just have to be replaced, however, if your AC fuse keeps popping then it’s likely there could be a larger problem. A low amount of air-conditioning refrigerant or a possible leak could also be the cause, which our highly skilled technicians can look at.
If you’ve noticed some damp spots in or around your car recently, that might be a result of an AC leak in your vehicle. When your AC is producing cold air inside your car, it has to place all of that moisture it’s used from outside and should go through the evaporator drain pipe. This could also be caused by the AC Refrigerant level being low which produces a buildup of condensation since the evaporator coils will freeze up. You need to have a lookout for faulty seals in the AC compartment or the air-conditioning’s air filters just in case the problem continues to happen.
