Why does the X-Trail's air conditioner only blow air without cooling?

Here are the reasons and solutions for the X-Trail's air conditioner only blowing air without cooling: 1. Incorrect mode Solution: If your fan starts but the main unit doesn't cool, check if your remote is set to cooling mode. Simply adjust it to cooling mode. 2. Insufficient refrigerant Solution: If both fan and main unit start, check if the refrigerant is adequate. If not, recharge it. However, before recharging, check for refrigerant leaks and fix any found. 3. Compressor failure Solution: Check if your compressor is functioning. If not, seek professional assistance.

Seeing the issue with the X-Trail's AC only blowing air without cooling reminds me of many regular customers' cars having the same problem. The most common issue is insufficient or leaked refrigerant—it's like the AC running out of fuel, blowing lukewarm air. Additionally, the compressor might fail; it's the heart of the AC system, and if the belt is loose or internal parts are damaged, it will only blow air without cooling. Electrical wiring can also be a big headache—if a fuse blows or a sensor malfunctions, the car's computer won't receive signals, leaving the AC system running aimlessly. Some owners even face refrigerant leaks right after a refill due to poorly sealed pipes. My advice is to first check the fuse box yourself, locate the AC fuse, and see if it's blown. Then, listen for the compressor's startup sound. If none of this helps, just take it to a professional shop to avoid turning a small issue into a big one—driving in summer without AC is miserable.
