Common Signs Your AC Needs Professional Attention
Your car's AC system will often give you warning signs before it completely stops working. Being aware of these signals can help you address a minor issue before it escalates into a major, costly repair. If you notice any of these symptoms, it's a good idea to bring your car in for an inspection:
- Warm Air: The most obvious sign of an AC problem is air that is not as cold as it used to be, or is blowing warm. This could be caused by a refrigerant leak, a bad compressor, or a blocked condenser.
- Weak Airflow: If the air coming from your vents is weak, even on the highest fan setting, it might be due to a clogged cabin air filter, a failing blower motor, or a blockage in the air ducts.
- Unusual Odors: A foul, musty, or moldy smell suggests bacterial or fungal growth on the evaporator core. This not only smells bad but can also affect the air quality inside your vehicle.
- Strange Noises: Clicking, rattling, or hissing sounds when your AC is running can indicate a problem with the compressor clutch, a failing compressor, or a leak in the system.
