Common Car Air Conditioning Problems

​

The most common problem with automotive air conditioners is a refrigerant leak. Just like your home air conditioner unit, a chemical refrigerant is used to cool the air. You will find a compressor, condenser, and evaporator in your vehicle, as well as refrigerant. Over time, your refrigerant will decrease and will need to be refilled. This often happens to people during the winter, when seals dry out and lead to leaks. If you need an AC recharge, we can help!

 

Other problems might include foul odors due to moisture entering the AC system. This can lead to poorly cooled air as well as nasty mold and bacteria growing in your AC system. If you experience this problem, you may need to have the system cleaned and flushed to get rid of mold, mildew, and bacteria harboring in your dashboard.

​

A variety of other mechanical problems can cause your AC to fail as well, and may trigger a check engine light. If your refrigerant isn’t leaking, you might have a more serious malfunction. Bring your vehicle in to West Side Tire and Automotive and we’ll take a look. We will thoroughly inspect your air conditioning system for any worn or damaged components, as well as leaks or blockages.
