Air Conditioning Stops Cooling After Long-Term Use? The solutions are: 1. Check if the filter screen has accumulated a lot of dust; 2. Inspect the operation of the air conditioning fan. If the fan's airflow is very weak, it may indicate that the fan motor is old and needs replacement. Reasons for the air conditioning not cooling after long-term use include: dirty radiator leading to poor heat dissipation, broken compressor, lack of refrigerant in the air conditioning system, broken belt causing the compressor not to rotate, etc. The car air conditioning system can cool, heat, ventilate, and purify the air inside the cabin, providing a comfortable environment for passengers and reducing driver fatigue, thereby improving driving safety. It generally includes a cooling device, heating device, and ventilation device.
It's quite common for the air conditioning cooling effect to deteriorate after years of use in my own car, making long drives uncomfortably hot. Common causes include clogged air filters with accumulated dust reducing airflow and cooling output - try removing and cleaning them with water yourself. Another possibility is insufficient refrigerant; prolonged AC operation can lead to leaks, causing low system pressure and poor cooling. Compressor aging may also result in weak operation with louder noise but no cold air. Start by checking these simple components - if cleaning the filters doesn't help, then visit a professional shop to check refrigerant levels and the compressor. Developing a habit of annual AC maintenance, including filter replacement, can prevent aging issues and extend lifespan. Testing the system before summer brings additional peace of mind.
