Car AC Not Working? Visit Your Chrysler Dealer Today

You may not use your AC very often this time of year, but when you need crisp, cold air, you expect ​the AC to provide it. If your AC is on the fritz, your Chrysler dealer in Edinboro, PA, can ​fix it for you. These are a few of the signs that your car’s AC is not working.

 

No Cold Air

If the outside temperature is very high, your AC may not supply very cold air. Under very hot conditions, the air from your AC will be approximately 50 F to 70 F at maximum cooling temperature. An AC that supplies air warmer than 70 F at its maximum setting has a problem, and we’ll need to investigate. One of the main reasons an AC can’t cool effectively is a lack of refrigerant.

Refrigerant is the liquid inside the AC that chills the air before it blows into your cabin. If the refrigerant level is low, there’s a leak in the system. We’ll examine your AC and fix the problem, and you’ll have cold air again in no time.

No Air From the Vents

It’s very frustrating when you expect cold air and nothing blows in from the vents. Two of the most common causes of this problem are a blower fan issue or a blockage in the AC ducts. Leaves, dirt, and other debris can slowly accumulate in the ducts and block the flow of cold air into your cabin. If this is the problem, we can clear the ducts, and the airflow will return to normal.

The blower fan’s job is to blow cold air from the AC into the cabin. This fan could fail due to an electrical problem like a blown fuse or damaged relay. It can also fail due to worn parts or other damage. Our technicians will check the fan and either fix the electrical problem or replace the damaged fan

 

Strange Noises

If you hear strange noises when your AC is running, we advise visiting us for an AC checkup. The compressor is the heart of your AC, as it pressurizes liquid refrigerant and turns it into a gas to start the chilling process.

If the compressor isn’t working, your AC won’t produce cold air. If the compressor fails, it may also cause damage to other AC components. A compressor requires regular servicing, as dirt in the coils or a clogged filter can cause it to overheat. There are always warning signs that the compressor is under strain.If the compressor has just started to overheat, we can probably repair it. If not, we’ll investigate the AC system and replace the failed components.
