Why is the air conditioning in the Baojun 310W not cooling?
2 Answers
Here are the possible reasons why the air conditioning in the Baojun 310W may not be cooling: 1. Issues with the refrigerant in the air conditioning system: The car's air conditioning system consists of multiple metal pipes with small gaps between them, leading to minor refrigerant leaks. Additionally, the dryer in the system absorbs moisture and retains some refrigerant. When the refrigerant level drops to a certain point, the cooling capacity of the air conditioning diminishes. In some models with dual-zone climate control, insufficient cooling may result in hot air blowing from the vents. 2. Clogged filter screen: Excessive impurities in the refrigerant or the lubricating oil of the car's air conditioning can clog the filter screen, reducing the flow of refrigerant to the expansion valve and causing the air conditioning to stop cooling. 3. Poor refrigerant circulation: If air enters the car's air conditioning system, it can cause excessive pressure in the refrigerant lines, leading to poor refrigerant circulation and insufficient cooling.
I've been driving for many years, and the Baojun 310W has quite a few common air conditioning issues. Insufficient refrigerant or leaks are the most common. If you feel the air from the vents is cool but not cold enough when the AC is on, the refrigerant level might be low. Compressor issues are also critical—if the belt is loose, severely worn, or the compressor itself is faulty, it can lead to ineffective cooling. A dirty or clogged condenser affects heat dissipation, and if the fan isn’t working, cold air won’t come out. For electrical issues, check the fuse—look for the AC fuse in the engine compartment fuse box and replace it if it’s blown. Damaged sensors or switches are also common. I recommend doing some simple checks first: start the car and turn on the AC, listen for the compressor’s clicking sound to see if it engages, and check if the fan is working properly. If there are too many bubbles in the refrigerant tank sight glass, it means a refill is needed. Finally, I advise going to a professional shop for repairs—safety first in the summer, don’t delay.
