Especially on hot summer days, everyone is happy to have air conditioning in the vehicle. Nevertheless, it can happen that the plant not right or not at all cools This problem can have many triggers. In this article you will learn what the reasons could be and how you can solve the problem.
Missing refrigerant!
It's often just that refrigerantthat your non-working air conditioner is missing. Few users know that the remedy needs to be replenished every second or third year. When the refrigerant is running out, the air conditioner can no longer cool properly. Please note that you have to refill professionally from a workshop can be carried out, because the refrigerant quickly changes to the gaseous state. Contact with skin may result in injury such as frostbite to lead. It may also be possible that the climate system leaky is, therefore, when charging the refrigerant, a Contrast media be added. If there is a leak, this can be recognized quickly by adding the contrast medium.
Defective capacitor
Like the bodywork on the vehicle, the air-conditioning condenser be damaged by stone chips or road debris. But not only damage, but also wear and tear can be the cause of a defective capacitor. As a result, the air conditioning no longer cools (either partial or total failure). The only thing that helps here is to visit a specialist workshop.
Broken compressor
A broken compressor can usually no longer be repaired. It is there to absorb the refrigerant, which is a gas liquefy. This is done by moving parts inside. If you use your air conditioner often, these parts will move regularly. But do you use your air conditioner for a longer period of time? not, the parts can get stuck due to the lack of movement. This determination can not repaired will. The consequence is that the compressor has to be replaced. To protect the compressor of your air conditioner, we recommend also in the winter run the air conditioner to prevent the moving parts from seizing up.
For example, you can turn on the air conditioning to clear your fogged windows. Newer car models usually have an air conditioner with a protection equipped, which switch off the air conditioning at lower temperatures (below +4 degrees). This is to protect against freezing of the condensed water. The evaporator can be damaged if the condensed water freezes.
Leak in hose
A leak in the air conditioning hose can also result in a non-cooling air conditioning system. The already mentioned contrast agent in the refrigerant allows you to quickly find out where the leak is in the hose. However, it is always advisable to have the repair carried out by a specialist workshop.
