What to Do When the Car Air Conditioner Breaks Down?

[KevinLee]

When the car air conditioner breaks down, the owner can first perform a self-inspection to check if the air intake vent is closed; whether the condenser coils and fins are clean; whether there is sufficient refrigerant in the air conditioning system; whether the blower motor is functioning properly; whether the blower channel is blocked; and whether the air intake filter is clogged. If the issue cannot be resolved on your own, it is recommended to seek professional help. During the hot summer months when using the air conditioner, try to avoid running it for extended periods. Some car owners often keep the air conditioner on continuously after getting in the car, but prolonged use can cause excessive pressure on the condenser, leading to wear and tear on the cooling system. This is because the air conditioner is a significant burden on the engine, which itself is a heat-generating component.
