Kia of South Austin invites you to understand why your vehicle ac is not working correctly.
Your car’s AC stopped working because of a failing compressor or a freon leak. Though these may be the obvious reasons for your AC not cooling inside your vehicle, it could also be anything as simple as a bad compressor belt or a dirty cabin air filter. Regardless of why or how, it can be super disappointing when cold air isn’t on to battle the hot weather. Don’t sweat it though, because our well-versed technicians are trained to help resolve these problems and are there to cool off your ride before the first heatwave hits.
The most likely reason the AC stopped working is the car’s air-conditioner is leaking. The car’s AC unit needs freon to lower the ambient air temperature which creates refreshing cold air. When there is a freon leak on your car there is no way to cool the air. Another source for your air-conditioning not producing cold air is because the vehicle is a hybrid. The AC system is powered by the engine, so if your vehicle is in EV mode then the engine has stopped running and won’t power the air-conditioning.
If your air-conditioning is turned on and the fan stopped blowing then you may have a defective AC fuse. These fuses help protect car components from a power surge and even though it may just need to be repaired, however, if your air-conditioning fuse continues to pop then you likely have a much larger problem. There’s can be the possibility that the car’s air-conditioning Compressor is affected by a low amount of air-conditioner refrigerant or a possible leak that needs to be looked at.
If you’ve seen some damp spots around or in your vehicle recently, that could be a result of an air-conditioner leak in your vehicle. For your AC to pump cold air inside your car, it needs to place all of that moisture it’s used from the outdoors and should go down the evaporator drain pipe. One more cause could be the AC Refrigerant amount being too low which produces an overflow of condensation because the evaporator coils will start to freeze. You should also keep an eye out for faulty seals in the air-conditioning compartment or the AC’s air filters in case the issue continues to happen.
