Mercedes-Benz of Georgetown invites you to learn why your vehicle ac is not cooling correctly.
Your vehicle’s AC stopped working most likely because of a failing compressor or a freon leak. While these might be the obvious reasons that the air-conditioner isn’t cooling in your vehicle, a bad compressor belt or a dirty cabin air filter may also be the culprit. No matter why or how, it’s super disappointing when cold air isn’t there to combat the hot weather. Don’t sweat it though, because our experienced auto technicians are trained to help resolve any problems and are ready to get your vehicle ready long before the first heatwave arrives.
The most likely reason the AC isn’t cooling is because your vehicle’s AC is leaking. The vehicle’s air-conditioning 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 vehicle is a hybrid. The AC system needs the engine power, so your AC isn’t receiving power if your car is in EV mode and the engine stops running.
If the AC is on but the fan isn’t blowing cold air then there might be a defective AC fuse. These fuses protect components of a vehicle from a power surge and while it might just have to get replaced, however, if your AC fuse keeps popping then it’s likely there’s a larger issue. A low level of AC refrigerant or a possible leak might also be the cause, which our very skilled technicians can look at.
If your AC starts leaking, you could easily tell by random damp spots around your car or puddles seen under your car where it’s parked. For your AC to push cold air into your car, it needs to place all the moisture it’s absorbed from outside and flows down the evaporator drain. Another cause might be the AC Refrigerant level being too low which leads to a buildup of condensation because the evaporator coils will freeze up. You should also have an eye out for faulty seals in the AC compartment or the AC’s air filters in case the issue continues to occur.
