Why is the Volkswagen air conditioning blower not working?
2 Answers
It may be caused by component failure. The car can be sent to a 4S store for repair. There are two consequences of the air conditioning blower not working: The air conditioning cannot be used normally: No air comes out of the air conditioning, the air conditioning cannot be used, the air speed is displayed on the screen, but no air comes out at any speed. Excessively low temperature at the evaporator: The air conditioning blower not working can cause icing, leading to damage to the evaporator. Moreover, the lower the evaporation temperature, the lower the system's refrigeration coefficient, while the system load continues to increase, resulting in continuous increase in system energy consumption, especially in low-temperature systems.
As an average car owner, I've experienced the frustration of my Volkswagen's air conditioning blower failing. The most common cause is a blown fuse—a small plastic piece hidden in the fuse box that tends to melt during summer due to high electrical load. Alternatively, the blower motor might be aging; when it stops working, you won't hear any sound, so listening carefully can help diagnose the issue. Loose wiring connections are also frequent culprits, especially in dusty environments—try re-seating them firmly. Once, my blower stopped working on the highway, and I had to quickly roll down the windows to prevent heatstroke. After a professional inspection, the mechanic advised that regularly cleaning the AC filter can prevent blockages. Routine checks of these simple components can save you from costly repairs.
