Why is the Magotan Compressor Not Working?
4 Answers
Here are the specific reasons why the Magotan compressor may not be working: 1. Poor contact. 2. The starting capacitor or compressor starting coil is burned out. 3. The pipeline system is blocked. 4. The evaporator or filter screen is dusty and scaled, or the control circuit board is faulty. 5. Poor heat dissipation. Check if the condenser tube is dusty and clean the condenser. Below is additional information about the air conditioning compressor: 1. The air conditioning compressor plays a role in compressing and driving the refrigerant in the air conditioning refrigerant circuit. The working circuit of the air conditioning compressor is divided into the evaporation zone (low-pressure zone) and the condensation zone (high-pressure zone). The indoor and outdoor units of the air conditioner belong to the low-pressure or high-pressure zone, respectively (depending on the working state). 2. The air conditioning compressor draws the refrigerant from the low-pressure zone, compresses it, and sends it to the high-pressure zone for cooling and condensation. The heat is dissipated into the air through the heat sink, and the refrigerant changes from a gaseous state to a liquid state, with increased pressure. 3. The compressor is the heart of the refrigeration system. Whether it is air conditioning, cold storage, chemical refrigeration processes, etc., the compressor is a crucial component to ensure proper operation.
Recently, my friend's car also had an issue with the compressor not working. After checking, he found that the fuse was blown. He located the air conditioning-related fuse in the engine compartment's fuse box, and upon gently pulling it out, it was visibly blackened. If the fuse is intact, it might be a faulty relay or loose wiring connections. Common issues with the compressor itself include internal mechanical jamming or electromagnetic clutch failure. If the system is low on refrigerant, the pressure sensor will protectively prevent the compressor from starting to avoid damage. These issues all require testing with a multimeter or diagnostic tool. Otherwise, driving with hot air in the summer is really uncomfortable. I’d recommend trying to replace the fuse first; if that doesn’t work, it’s best to go to a professional shop to avoid wasting money.
After using cars for so many years, I've encountered several issues with the air conditioning where the compressor wouldn't start. The most common cause is insufficient refrigerant, where the system detects low pressure and automatically shuts off the compressor to protect the equipment. It could also be due to aging wires causing short circuits or corroded plugs leading to poor contact. If the compressor belt is loose or broken, it won't start either, so remember to regularly maintain and check the belt tension. Faults in the control module or a malfunctioning AC switch can also affect the compressor. It's best to troubleshoot step by step, starting with the simplest fixes like replacing the fuse to save time.
Compressor failure is often related to electrical issues, such as blown fuses, relay malfunctions, or poor plug contact. Mechanical problems like broken belts or internal component wear are also common. Low refrigerant levels in the system can also force the compressor to shut down. Driving in hot and stuffy summer conditions can easily lead to fatigue, so prompt repairs are recommended.
