How to Fix a Car Air Conditioning Compressor That's Not Working?
1 Answers
If the car air conditioning compressor is not working, the compressor must be replaced promptly; otherwise, the car air conditioning system will fail to provide cooling. A non-functional car AC compressor may result from the following reasons: 1. Insufficient refrigerant: Terms like refrigerant, coolant, Freon, or 'snow seed' commonly refer to the air conditioning refrigerant. Solution: Replenish the AC refrigerant. 2. Improper tension of the car AC belt: An overly tight belt can directly cause the compressor to seize and stop operating; a loose belt leads to slipping in power transmission, resulting in intermittent cooling and reduced efficiency. Solution: Adjust the belt tension. 3. Electrical system issues: Short circuits or open circuits disrupt the power delivery path, preventing the electromagnetic clutch from properly controlling the compressor's operation.
