What Do I Do If My Vehicle’s Air Conditioner Stops Working?

Tips for Air Conditioner Problems

As the temperature rises, you’ll quickly remember how important your vehicle’s air conditioner is. An air conditioner helps keep you and your passengers cool when driving on a hot day, and if it suddenly stops working, you won’t be able to enjoy your next drive. As a vital component of your vehicle, especially during the summer months, an air conditioner is an essential feature. Keep reading to learn more about what you can do if your vehicle’s air conditioner stops working and find out why it may have stopped pushing out cold air.

[Learn More About: Air Conditioning Service]

Why Your Vehicle’s Air Conditioner Stopped Working 

1. Electrical problem. When your air conditioner stops working, it could be an electrical problem keeping it from blowing cold air.
2. Condenser is broken. Your vehicle’s condenser plays an important role and if it’s not working properly, your air conditioner will not cool you down while driving.
3. Compressor isn’t working. Your air conditioner’s compressor keeps cool air moving around the interior of your car, and if it’s broken or goes bad, you won’t get the cold air you need to keep you comfortable.
4. Cooling fans are broken. If your vehicle’s cooling fans are broken, they won’t be able to push the cold air through the interior cabin.
5. Refrigerant Leak. A refrigerant leak can keep your air from working.

What to Do When Your Vehicle’s Air Conditioner Stops Working

1. Open your windows. If your vehicle’s air conditioning system stops working on a hot day, open your windows to help cool you down.
2. Turn on the interior fan. When your air conditioner stops working, turn on your vehicle’s interior fan to help circulate the air inside the passenger compartment.
3. Call your automotive service department. Schedule an appointment with your local service department so they can fix your vehicle’s air conditioning system.

If your air conditioner stops working and you want to get it back in action and blow cold air again, visit or contact North Edmonton Kia, your local automotive service centre.
