Air Conditioning Recharge

The function of an air conditioner is to help remove the heat and humidity from inside the passenger compartment of the vehicle. Powered by a belt, the air conditioning compressor compresses the refrigerant to pressurize it and pump it through the system.

The refrigerant is pushed through a valve where pressure and temperature are reduced. The now-cool refrigerant travels through the evaporator in the passenger compartment. As a result, cooled air is blown into your vehicle. This refrigerant returns to the compressor, where the cycle begins once again.

There are many reasons why an AC isn't working. Listed below are common problems found with the ac systems.

• No air coming from air conditioning vents
• Check the air conditioner fuse and replace as necessary.
• Air conditioner system discharged. Have the system evacuated, charged and leak tested by an MVAC certified technician, utilizing approved recovery/recycling equipment.
• Air conditioner low pressure switch defective.
• Air conditioner fan resistor pack defective.
• Loose connection, broken wiring or defective air conditioner relay in air conditioning electrical circuit.
• Air Conditioner blows warm air
• Air conditioner system is discharged. Have the system evacuated, charged and leak tested by an MVAC certified technician, utilizing approved recovery/recycling equipment.
• Air conditioner compressor clutch not engaging. Check compressor clutch wiring, electrical connections and compressor clutch, and repair or replace as necessary.
• Water collects on the interior floor when the air conditioner is used
• Air conditioner evaporator drain hose is blocked. Clear the drain hose where it exits the passenger compartment.
• Air conditioner evaporator drain hose is disconnected. Secure the drain hose to the evaporator drainage tray under the dashboard.
• Air conditioner has a moldy smell when used
• The air conditioner evaporator drain hose is blocked or partially restricted, allowing condensation to build up around the evaporator and drainage tray.
