What to do if the air conditioner stopped cooling the air in the passenger compartment, automotive expert Maxim Kadakov said in an interview with Sputnik radio.
Air conditioning in the car in the summer months becomes the most important condition for comfortable trips. If it stopped working, then it is worth checking the condition of the electrical components of this system, he advised in an interview with the radio Sputnik editor-in-chief “Behind the wheel” Maxim Kadakov.
The first thing to check is the electrical: from a blown fuse to contact problems. If the machine’s air conditioner compressor does not turn on, then all contacts and wires must be “ringed out” using a special device. recommended by an expert. If the motorist does not have such skills, then you need to go to the service with this question.
If the air conditioning system itself works, but cannot cope with the cooling of the air in the passenger compartment, then it is necessary to check the amount of refrigerantsaid the expert.
The second most common reason for the inoperability of the air conditioner in the car is freon leak, that is, a refrigerant that transfers cold from the heat exchanger to the car interior. To identify a leak, you need to start the engine, open the hood and touch the two air conditioning pipes that come from the compressor. One tube should be much colder than the other. If the difference is noticeable, then everything is fine. If these tubes are about the same temperature, then the freon is gone, the line is leaking somewhere. Or it could be a gradual leak, especially if the vehicle is “older” already. Then you can either buy a special pump and fill the freon yourself, or do it in a car service, summed up Maxim Kadakov.
