Why Is My Car's AC Not Working?
Understanding why your car's AC isn't working requires a bit of background on how this system works.
Your automotive air conditioning system operates similarly to a refrigerator, or even the radiator under the hood of your car. At its most basic, the system consists of a compressor that forces a special chemical known as a refrigerant through an airtight loop that features both a high- and low-pressure side. As the refrigerant passes from one side to another, it changes from gas to liquid, then back to gas.
The parts that facilitate this are known as the compressor, condenser and evaporator. The compressor pressurizes the refrigerant in its gaseous form; the condenser liquefies it; the evaporator helps it pull hot air from the cabin, cooling the car.
Any component within this system can eventually fail. Oftentimes there may be a leak from a bad hose or connection, which causes refrigerant to leak out or water to seep in. Both can damage your car's AC. Another point of failure can be the compressor, which may overheat and fail if the AC system doesn't have the correct amount of refrigerant running through it.
