Although we’ll have to properly diagnose the source of any auto AC trouble you may have, we can speak about some of the typical issues drivers face when the comfort control goes awry. If the system is working but doesn’t produce cold or cool enough air, it may need a simple refrigerant recharge. This shouldn’t be needed very often, so if the level is low frequently or sooner than expected, we’ll also need to check for a refrigerant leak. Another potential source of trouble is a bad compressor or failed compressor clutch. This, too, can cause the AC to not work properly or at all. The condenser cools the gaseous refrigerant vapors as they leave the compressor. If this component malfunctions, the hot refrigerant cannot be cooled again to produce comfortable air for the passenger cabin and then repeat the process. The condenser uses multiple tubes and seals. If the area becomes blocked with road trash or if there is a tubal break, the condenser won’t be able to do its job. Finally, if the system won’t turn on at all, you likely have an electrical failure. The culprit could be a broken wire, or a blown fuse.
