The Air Is Not Cold Enough
If your AC is blowing cool but not cold air, there’s not enough refrigerant. It could also be due to a blocked or failing AC condenser not re-cooling the hot refrigerant. A condenser uses the airflow that comes through the front of your car while you drive to re-cool the refrigerant. If the condenser is blocked with dirt or damaged, it won’t be able to cool the refrigerant effectively, causing your AC to blow out hot air instead of cool.
There’s No Cold Air
If the AC is not blowing cold air at all, the usual culprit is leaking refrigerant. Refrigerant leaks typically come from connections, hoses, compressors, condensers, or a ruptured evaporator. Leaks aren’t easy to find, but your skilled BMW technician will promptly identify and fix the issue in no time.
There’s No Air Coming Through the Vents
If you’re not feeling any air coming through your car’s vents, one of the cooling fans may not work correctly. It could also be a host of other issues, such as a blocked air intake, damage to the resistor or blower motor, or damaged belts and hoses. It’s best to take your car to your BWM technician to quickly and accurately pinpoint what’s causing the problem and make the necessary repairs.
Your AC Is Noisy
If your AC is making noises, it could be due to something as basic as debris, such as dirt picked up from the road or leaves that might be blocking the air con. However, there may be a faulty or failed component. The compressor circulates the refrigerant throughout the air conditioning system. In some instances, the compressor might malfunction when it’s not used for prolonged periods.
When the AC compressor is nearing the end of its life, you may notice that your air con turns on and off, producing clicking noises. On the other hand, if the condenser is broken, you might hear gurgling sounds when you turn on the AC and whistling sounds while it’s running.
There’s an Electrical Problem
If your AC is not blowing air when you turn it on, an underlying electrical issue might be causing the problem. Several reasons could lead to electrical issues, such as malfunctioning switches, blown fuses, or damaged wires. Head to your dealer for reliable AC repair services to get your AC running again and do its job effectively.
