Reasons for the Zotye T600 air conditioner not cooling: 1. Leakage of air conditioner refrigerant; 2. Damage or malfunction of the air conditioner compressor capacitor, causing the compressor to not work; 3. Change in the resistance value of the room temperature sensor, causing the outdoor unit of the air conditioner to not work; 4. Malfunction of the remote control or air conditioner receiver; 5. Malfunction of the four-way valve (not applicable to single-cooling models) or high and low pressure air leakage in the compressor, the air conditioner works but has no effect. The Zotye T600 is the first mid-size SUV model under the Zotye brand, with a body length, width, and height of 4631 mm, 1893 mm, and 1694 mm respectively. The Zotye T600 offers a total of 9 models, equipped with 1.5T and 2.0T engines. The 1.5T is paired with a 5-speed manual transmission, while the 2.0T is paired with a 5-speed manual or 6-speed dual-clutch (DCT) transmission.
I've been driving my Zotye T600 for several years, and there are quite a few common reasons for the AC not cooling. Insufficient refrigerant is the most common issue, possibly due to leaks in the piping, aging rubber seals, or damage from collisions. When the compressor fails, there might be unusual noises, like grinding sounds, or no sound at all. Clogged filters restrict airflow, and when dust accumulates inside, it prevents cold air from blowing out, making driving in hot weather especially uncomfortable. Electrical issues, such as faulty sensors or blown fuses, can cause the system to stop working. I recommend first checking and cleaning the filter yourself. If there's no improvement, it's best to visit a professional shop to test the pressure and check for leaks, to avoid wasting money on the wrong repairs. Regularly replacing the filter during maintenance can prevent clogs and save money.
