1Blowing Warm Air
The most common cause is low refrigerant from a leak somewhere in the system. AC systems are sealed—if refrigerant is low, there's a leak that needs repair.
2No Air at All
If no air comes from the vents, the blower motor may have failed, or there's an electrical issue. Check if you can hear the blower fan running.
3Strange Smells
Musty smells indicate mold in the evaporator or vents. This happens when moisture isn't draining properly. A professional cleaning can resolve this.
4AC Works Sometimes
Intermittent cooling often points to an electrical issue—failing compressor clutch, faulty pressure switch, or wiring problem.
