Common Car AC Problems

Losing the comfort of your vehicles air conditioner can be unpleasant. The AC compressor has safeguards and shut-offs that offer protection from low levels of lubricant and other potentially damaging conditions..

Refrigerant Problems

    A lack of refrigerant in a vehicle is the most common problem with automobile air-conditioning systems. Leaks are often the cause for these low levels. Before it can be recharged, the system must first be checked for leaks which could occur due to a damaged hose or compressor.

Air and Moisture Problems

    Air and moisture entering a vehicles AC system might cause ice to accumulate and cause blockage problems. A vacuum pump should be used to remove this moisture and air. A one-percent rise in the amount of air in the system will cause an ACs cooling abilities to decline.

Noise Problems

    Noise problems coming from your compressor indicate that replacement might be imminent. Using the wrong type of lubricant on the compressor. might also cause noise problems.
