What are the reasons for the Lavida compressor not working?
2 Answers
Lavida compressor not working reasons are as follows: 1. Generally, it is caused by long-term operation under insufficient Freon. Due to improper installation, system leakage is the root cause of insufficient refrigerant. 2. Function lock protection. Some brands or models have a child lock function. In lock mode, no operation can be performed. Please refer to the manual to unlock. The compressor operates under high temperature for a long time, resulting in reduced insulation, too low coil resistance, increased starting current, and a sudden rise in compressor temperature. 3. Check whether the compressor is burnt out. 4. Also check if the electromagnetic clutch can engage normally.
There are quite a few reasons why the Lavida's compressor isn't working. I've been driving Volkswagens for ten years, and the most common issues are blown fuses or loose wiring—especially in summer when the AC is cranked up, the high current can easily melt fuses. You can try checking and replacing the fuses in the fuse box under the driver's seat yourself. The relay might also be faulty; last year, my car's AC wasn't cooling due to poor relay contact, and the mechanic fixed it in no time. If the compressor itself has a broken belt or aging mechanical parts, it won't run and will need replacement. Low refrigerant pressure from a leak can also trigger the system's self-protection mode, preventing the compressor from starting—you'll need to top up the refrigerant and check for leaks first. Fan failures or control module issues can also affect the compressor, so it's best to use an OBD scanner to read the fault codes. In short, don't rush to replace parts—start with the simple checks before heading to a professional shop. It'll save you money and keep things safe.
