What are the reasons for the newly purchased car's air conditioner not cooling?
1 Answers
Here are the specific reasons why the air conditioner in a new car is not cooling: Insufficient or low refrigerant: Caused by minor refrigerant leakage, which can be observed from the sight glass on the dryer tank. During normal operation of the air conditioner, if continuous bubbles appear in the sight glass, it indicates insufficient refrigerant. If obvious bubble flipping is observed, it means the refrigerant is severely insufficient, and adding refrigerant will solve the issue. Loose air conditioner compressor drive belt: If the drive belt is loose, the compressor will slip during operation, leading to reduced transmission efficiency and a decrease in compressor speed. This results in reduced delivery of compressed refrigerant, causing the car's air conditioner to not cool. If the car's air conditioner compressor drive belt is too loose, it should be tightened. If it cannot be turned by hand, it indicates the drive belt is too tight and should be slightly loosened.
