Is your car AC not working? If so, it can be a stressful experience, especially during warm weather. A lack of cool air from the vents can signal that something is wrong with your AC. At Crain Chevrolet, we want our local drivers to be safe and comfortable. It’s important to know the reasons why your car’s air conditioner isn’t functioning correctly, and when to bring your vehicle to a Chevy dealer.
Car AC Not Working? Stop By Your Chevy Dealer
Without air conditioning, the hot weather can be unbearable. Knowing what may have caused your AC to stop doing its job can help you get things back on track fast. Here are a few of the most likely causes of your air conditioning issues.
Low Freon
Freon is a refrigerant that helps cool the air in your car’s AC system. Over time, or when driven in very hot weather conditions freon levels can decrease and result in poor air conditioning performance.
Faulty Compressor
The AC compressor is the most common cause of AC failure. It’s a critical part of your system, as it pumps refrigerant through the system and creates cold air when you turn on your AC. If it’s not working properly, you’ll notice that your air is either too hot or too cold at first and then stops cooling altogether.
Malfunctioning Thermostat
The thermostat is the device that regulates the temperature of the coolant in your system. It controls how much coolant flows through to keep your engine at an optimal operating temperature, which helps to maximize fuel economy and prevent overheating problems. If your thermostat is dirty or clogged up with debris, it might not be able to regulate cooling for as long as it needs to.
Dirty Condenser
The condenser is the part that cools the refrigerant. It’s located outside of your car and can clog if you drive on dirt roads or dusty areas. If your AC suddenly stops working, it could be because debris has built up on the condenser, making it unable to do its job properly.
