What are the reasons for the Malibu XL air conditioner not cooling?

There are many reasons why the Malibu XL air conditioner does not cool. The following is an introduction to the reasons why the car air conditioner does not cool: 1. Insufficient or too little refrigerant. A common reason for the car air conditioner not cooling is insufficient or too little refrigerant, which may be caused by a slight leak of refrigerant. 2. Too much refrigerant. Because the proportion of refrigerant in the air conditioning system has certain requirements. If the proportion is too high, it will affect its heat dissipation. Similarly, if too much cooling oil is added during maintenance, the heat dissipation of the refrigeration system will also decrease. 3. The drive belt of the car air conditioning compressor is loose. Car refrigeration relies on refrigerant, refrigerant transmission relies on the air conditioning compressor, and the drive belt is an important moving part that drives the air conditioning compressor. If the drive belt is loose, the compressor will slip during operation, causing a decrease in transmission efficiency, a decrease in compressor speed, and a decrease in the delivery of compressed refrigerant, resulting in the car air conditioner not cooling. 4. Unqualified refrigerant and refrigeration oil. If the refrigerant and refrigeration oil contain too many impurities, it will also cause the car air conditioner's filter to become clogged, resulting in the car air conditioner not cooling, increased resistance, and a decrease in the refrigerant flowing to the expansion valve, leading to insufficient cooling capacity. 5. Water has entered the refrigeration system. If water enters the car air conditioning refrigeration system, causing insufficient cooling or no cooling, then the desiccant or dryer in the car air conditioner must be replaced. At the same time, the system should be evacuated again, and a new appropriate amount of refrigerant should be injected.
