Bob Howard Hyundai invites you to learn why your car or truck ac is not working correctly.
Your car’s air-conditioner not working is most likely because of a freon leak or a failing compressor. While these are the simple to spot reasons that the air-conditioner isn’t working inside your car, a bad belt or a dirty cabin air filter could also be the culprit. Regardless of why or how, it can be very disappointing when ice-cold air isn’t there to combat hot weather. Don’t sweat it though, because our experienced technicians know what to look for and are there to get your vehicle ready before the first heatwave arrives.
The most likely reason your air-conditioner stopped cooling is because your vehicle’s air-conditioning is leaking. Your car’s air-conditioner system uses freon to cool the ambient air temperature which produces some refreshing cold air. Anytime 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 that your car is a hybrid. The AC system uses the engine power, so if your car is in EV mode then the engine has stopped running and not power the AC.
If your air-conditioning is turned on and the fan stopped blowing then you may have a blown AC fuse. These fuses help protect vehicle components from a power surge and even though it might just need to be repaired, if the AC fuse continues to pop then you likely have a larger issue. There’s also the possibility that the car’s air-conditioning Compressor is affected by a low level of AC refrigerant or a possible leak that has to be repaired.
If you’ve noticed any damp spots around or in your vehicle recently, that could be because of an AC leak in your car. When your AC is pumping cold air inside your car, it has to place all the moisture it uses from the outdoors and flows down the evaporator drain pipe. One more cause could be the AC Refrigerant level being too low which leads to the evaporator coils freezing up and an overflow of condensation. You should also have an eye out for faulty seals in the air-conditioning compartment or the air-conditioning’s air filters in case the problem keeps happening.
