What Causes High Pressure in Car AC Without Cooling?
1 Answers
Reasons for car AC not cooling: 1. Insufficient refrigerant: Car AC systems typically require refrigerant recharge every 2-3 years. 2. Damaged air blend door: The blend door actuator, usually located in the lower center console area, serves as the main switch for AC vents. Even if the AC is functioning, cold air may only leak through gaps without achieving proper cooling. If no air comes from any vents when AC is on, the actuator needs replacement requiring dashboard removal. 3. Dirty condenser: Cleaning the radiator and condenser primarily improves heat dissipation. 4. Faulty AC compressor, throttle valve or expansion valve: Malfunctions in these components directly cause poor AC performance. 5. Worn or loose belts: During operation, slipping belts may lead to breakage, abnormal noise, power steering failure, and poor AC performance.
