BMW of Clear Lake invites you to learn why your vehicle air conditioning is not cooling.
Your vehicle’s AC not working is caused by a freon leak or a bad compressor. While these causes may be the most obvious reasons that your air-conditioning isn’t working inside your car, it could also be something as simple as a dirty cabin filter or a bad compressor belt. No matter why or how, it’s super disappointing when ice-cold air isn’t there to combat hot weather. Don’t get in a panic, because our experienced technicians know what to look for and are there to cool off your ride before the first heat wave arrives.
The most likely reason your AC stopped working is your vehicle’s AC started leaking. The vehicle’s air-conditioning unit needs a freon to cool the ambient air temperature and creates refreshing cold air. Anytime there is a freon leak on your car there is no way to cool the air. Another reason for your air-conditioning not producing cold air is that the car is a hybrid. The air-conditioner system needs the engine power, so if your car is in EV mode then the engine has stopped running and does not power the AC.
If your air-conditioner is turned on and the fan isn’t blowing cold air then you might have a defective AC fuse. Fuses protect components of a car from a possible power surge and even though it may just have to get repaired, if your air-conditioner fuse continues to pop then it’s likely there’s a much larger issue. There can be a chance that the car’s AC Compressor is suffering from a low amount of AC refrigerant or a possible leak that needs to be repaired.
If you’ve seen some damp spots around or in your vehicle recently, that might be a result of an AC leak in your vehicle. For your AC to push cold air into your car, it has to place all the moisture it’s absorbed from outside and should leave down the evaporator drain pipe. This can also be caused by the AC Refrigerant level being low which produces a buildup of condensation because the evaporator coils will freeze up. You need to keep an eye out for faulty seals in the AC compartment or the AC’s air filters if the issue continues to occur.
