Why does the car air conditioner sometimes blow cold and sometimes hot?
1 Answers
When a car air conditioner alternates between blowing cold and hot air, it may indicate a cooling failure. Common causes include refrigerant leakage, internal damage to the air conditioning compressor, or excessive dirt accumulation on the condenser fins in the air conditioning system. Complete refrigerant leakage in the system will result in the air conditioner failing to cool. Refrigerant leaks typically occur in components such as pipelines, the air conditioning compressor, condenser, or evaporator. During inspection, fluorescent dye can be added along with the refrigerant. After one week of use, re-examine the air conditioning system. If any glowing spots are observed, they indicate leakage points that require repair or replacement.
