The air conditioner or say the climate control system helps to chill the cabin of our car in just no time. But, what if the AC of your car stops working? You might be surely curious to know why it happened so? So, today we have listed for you what are the causes of the air conditioner of the car not working properly?

The proper functioning of the air conditioning system of the car is always required to ensure optimum comfort levels in your car.

Now, coming to our main point as to what are the causes of the air conditioner of the car not working properly.

The air conditioner system of the car can stop working due to continuous use without proper care or not using it for a very long period of time. There are many components of the air conditioner which can be damaged due to a number of climatic, atmospheric or non-deliberate circumstances. From consistent use or no use at all for a long time, there do come some situations when the air conditioner of your car might stop working properly, causing irregular or inconsistent flow of cool air in the cabin. Thus, we have listed the following causes which can lead to the car's air conditioner not working properly. Let's have a closer look at each one of them:

Refrigerant Leakage - The refrigerant, which is the most basic and also the most important compound responsible for the coldness of the air blowing from the air conditioner, tends to leak from various places, especially from the hose connections of the AC unit if it is broken. In such a case, detect the part from where the refrigerant is leaking, and close it with a sealant.

Blocked Condenser - A condenser recirculates the hot refrigerant once it is compressed back into the system, to continue the flow of the cold air in the cabin. There are times when the dust enters into the cabin and then into the system through the AC vents, which can create a blockage of this hot compressed refrigerant. If it gets blocked, you should get it cleared.

Broken Condenser - A condenser is usually placed at the front of the car, and there are chances that debris or dust can enter through the grille and damage the condenser placed behind it. In such a case, there is only one solution to it, and that is the replacement of the whole condenser.

Broken or Loose Wiring - Since the air conditioner is one component which depends on the electrical system of the car, it is important to check whether all the wires related to it are in working condition. If there is any damage to the wire, tighten it or fix it by electrical tape.

Defected Compressor - When the air conditioner isn't used for a long time, it can lead to the air compressor getting damaged due to sudden shock by switching it on after a long time. To avoid this, we recommend using the air conditioner consistently - at least once a week is strongly recommended, irrespective of the temperature and climatic condition outside.

Defected Cooling Fan - The small dust particles and debris can result in the development of cracks in the cooling fans of the air conditioner system, which can damage it causing obstruction of cooled air in the cabin. By visual inspection, one can rectify and replace the damaged cooling fans.
