Why is the Baojun 360 air conditioner not cooling?

[CassandraRose]

The reasons why the Baojun 360 air conditioner is not cooling are as follows: 1. Refrigerant leakage: The refrigerant in the air conditioning system has completely leaked, resulting in no refrigerant, so the air conditioner does not cool. 2. Internal damage to the air conditioning pump: This prevents the cooling effect from starting. Generally, a damaged air conditioning pump will produce abnormal noises. 3. The condenser fins are too dirty: This causes the pressure and temperature in the air conditioning system to be too high, and the air conditioning pump stops working, so the air conditioner does not cool. Relevant information about car air conditioners is as follows: 1. Car air conditioner: It refers to the air conditioning device installed in the car, which can cool, heat, ventilate, and purify the air in the compartment, providing a comfortable riding environment for passengers, reducing the driver's fatigue, and improving driving safety. The air conditioning device has become one of the indicators to measure whether a car is fully functional. 2. Structure: It generally includes a cooling device, a heating device, and a ventilation device. This combined device makes full use of the limited space inside the car, with a simple structure and easy operation.

When I first drove the Baojun 360, the air conditioning wasn’t cooling either. I suspected it might be due to a refrigerant leak or insufficient charge, which are common issues. It could also be a compressor failure—the compressor is the core component, and if it’s not working, there’s no cold air. Also, check if the AC filter is clogged; a dirty filter can affect airflow, and cleaning it often helps. Before driving in summer, it’s best to pop the hood and check if the condenser fan is spinning—if not, the temperature rises too quickly. I’ve also encountered poor electrical contact; loose connectors can cause problems. I tried adding refrigerant myself, but it’s safer and more cost-effective to go to a professional shop. Regular maintenance, like recharging the refrigerant once a year, can prevent major issues.

There are quite a few reasons why the Baojun 360's air conditioning isn't cooling. The most troublesome issue is a broken compressor, as it drives the entire system to work. Low refrigerant pressure can also cause this problem, which can be identified by measuring the pressure. If the condenser is too dusty and has poor heat dissipation, the air conditioning efficiency will be low. Additionally, when the temperature control switch fails, setting it lower won't help. Check for leaks in the pipes, as tiny leaks can slowly deplete the refrigerant. I recommend first testing the fan speed and then checking the fuse box to rule out simple issues. If everything seems fine, take it to a 4S shop to test the pipeline pressure with specialized tools. Regular maintenance, such as cleaning dust from the engine compartment, can extend the air conditioning's lifespan.

If the Baojun 360's air conditioning isn't cooling, don't panic. First, check if the temperature is set to the lowest and the AC button is pressed. Sometimes the AC switch might be accidentally turned off. Next, see if the external cabin air filter is clogged—excessive dust can affect airflow. The refrigerant might have leaked and needs replenishing. If the fan is noisy but there's no airflow, it could be a motor issue. Try a simple pre-start check of the settings or air out the car when parked. I've encountered similar situations before—timely action prevents high temperatures from affecting your drive. A quick visit to the repair shop will sort it out.
