Toyota of Anaheim invites you to learn why your vehicle air conditioning is not working.
Your vehicle’s air-conditioner not working is most likely caused by a failing compressor or a freon leak. Though these are the most obvious reasons that the AC isn’t working in your car, a dirty cabin filter or a bad compressor belt could also be the problem. No matter how or why when you are counting on the sweet relief of cold air it can be incredibly irritating when it won’t come through. Don’t sweat it though, because our well-versed auto technicians will easily resolve these problems and are there to get your car prepared before the first heat wave arrives.
The most likely reason your AC isn’t cooling is because the vehicle’s air-conditioner is leaking. The car’s AC unit uses freon to lower the ambient air temperature and creates some refreshing cold air. When you want that refreshing cool air, it can’t happen if the freon leak happens. Another source that your air-conditioner isn’t producing cold air is that the car is a hybrid. The AC system uses the engine power, meaning if your car is in EV mode then the engine will stop running and not power the air-conditioning.
If the air-conditioning is on but the fan isn’t working then there might be a blown AC fuse. These fuses protect vehicle components from a power surge and even though it may just need to get replaced, however, if your AC fuse keeps popping then it’s possible you have a larger issue. A low level of AC refrigerant or a possible leak could also be the cause, which our highly skilled technicians can repair.
If you’ve seen some damp spots around or in your vehicle recently, that could be a result of an AC leak in your vehicle. For any air-conditioning to pump cold air into your vehicle, it needs to place all of that moisture it uses from the outdoors and should leave down the evaporator drain. This can also be caused by the AC Refrigerant level being low which leads to the evaporator coils freezing up and an overflow of condensation. You need to have an eye out for faulty seals in the air-conditioner compartment or the AC’s air filters just in case the issue keeps happening.
