What is the reason for the air conditioning not cooling in the Trumpchi GS8?

Issues with the condenser. Below are the specific details: 1. Condenser: The condenser is a component that is very easy to overlook. After long periods of driving, a lot of dust can accumulate on the condenser. Driving frequently on roads with a lot of dust will result in even more dust on the condenser. Excessive dust on the condenser significantly reduces its heat dissipation efficiency. Poor heat dissipation naturally leads to the air conditioning not cooling properly. The condenser needs to be cleaned. 2. Causes: If not cleaned for a long time, the filter can become dirty, clogged with debris or foreign objects, which affects the air flow of the air conditioning. A lack of refrigerant in the car's air conditioning system can also result in poor cooling performance. As long as the vehicle has not been involved in a rear-end collision or had its air conditioning pipes dismantled, there should be no loss of refrigerant. If the radiator or condenser is too dirty, their efficiency decreases, which in turn affects the cooling performance of the air conditioning.
I've been driving the GAC GS8 for several years. Common reasons for the air conditioning not cooling include insufficient or leaking refrigerant, compressor and fan malfunctions, and condenser blockages. Refrigerant is the core of the cooling system—if it leaks, the system pressure drops, directly reducing cooling efficiency. If the compressor is aging or the clutch has issues, the fan won't spin, and hot air won't dissipate. During high summer temperatures, prolonged driving often leads to radiator blockages, resulting in poor cooling. I've tried using an OBD tool to check for error codes to see if any electronic components are faulty. If that doesn't work, it's best to seek professional repair immediately to avoid distraction and potential accidents from driving in sweltering heat.
