aircon blower

[wewoy_romero]

when my aircon is in fresh air mode, walang hangin na lumalabas sa blower. pero pag recirculate, meron. ano kaya problem? halos hindi ko naman kasi ginagamit yung fresh air mode, pero siempre it might be a sign of a problem about to start.

are you the first/orig owner? if not, baka pina-overhaul/repair na yan aircon ng auto mo tapos tinakpan yun intake duct for the fresh-air mode.

[wewoy_romero]

2nd owner. it used to work. it was working before pinalinis ko yung aircon. didn't bother to check after. tapos ngayon ko lang napansin.

depende sa type ng ac meron motor ang actuator ng door (ATC), meron din vacuum solenoid . i check mo na lang baka me nahugot na vacuum hose kaya ayaw mag actuate ang fresh air door

I also have a problem with the blower of my aircon, everytime that i start my AC the air that comes out from it smells bad. Amoy basang basahan na naiwan ng ilang araw, then after a minute the foul odor is gone.

Whattya think guys is the problem???

not familiar w/ civic but in general yung outside air dumadaan sa cowl then papuntana sa ac housing meron door na nag bubukas or nagsasara para sa outside air yun door na yun ang most probable problem mo (not opening) ang control nito ay either electric motor (ATC) or vac solenoid (manual AC) usually nasa gilid ng housing nakamount ang mototr or vac solenoid, kaya depende sa set-up meron madali ma access meron din mahirap (some requires removal of the dash). since nagpaservice ka yata ng evaporator baka hindi naibalik yun lever kung, vac supply naman madidinig mo may hissing sound (pag nag open ka for outside air). since d2 sa atin hindi maganda ang environment you can leave it as ease wala naman mabigat na problem yan lagi naman recirc ang gamit natin. paayos mo na lang sa next service ng ac mo.

*vroom, when was the last time you had your air-con cleaned? baka mdumi na bro.

[BlueBimmer]

foul smell most of the time means your evaporator is dirty...

[t2erns]

sir vroom
That musty odor is the result of microbial growth on the cooling coil. During normal A/C system operation, condensation forms in and around the A/C cooling coil. When airborne pollutants mix with this condensation, bacteria and fungi growth begins and odor results. kaya kailangan na siguro ng cleaning ac cooling coil (evaporator).

Molds.

Temp fix would be as simple as a can of Lysol and about 15 minutes.

i opened the glove compartment and pressed recirculate/freshair mode a few times. i can see this motor (electric motor (ATC) or vac solenoid (manual AC)) closing and opening a door-like object made of foam. so i guess the motor works. tapos pag walang hangin na lumalabas during the freshair mode, i can hear a sound na parang rushing air na kulob sa dashboard.

baka tinakpan yung intake duct mo na hindi ka sinabihan (nung pinalinis mo yung evaporator mo)

nung ako kasi, nagpaalam muna bago takpan. mukhang SOP na ng ibang shops instead of replacing the foam seal around the duct. malamang kaya ganun yung sound kasi pag nag switch ka to fresh air mode, dahil blocked yung air duct, kung san san na lang hinihigop nung fan yung air. pa check mo na lang next cleaning or next time kailangan mo ng aircon repair / maintenance.

[wewoy_romero]

i see... i really don't use recirculate.

kaya lang sabi kasi sa akin, to get the car to a comfortable temperature quickly after being baked in the hot sun, use recirculate muna. also sa gabi, malamig naman so ayaw ko na sana mag-aircon. but opening the windows is just a little too dangerous hehe. balak ko sana fan lang tapos recirculate pag malamig.

nazq:
if i diy it, kaya ko ba?

[NazQ]

di ko alam kung gano ka ka-technical pero mejo pahirapan yan, imo.. and in the event na matangal mo yung takip, kailangan mo rin palitan yung foam seal/damper sa duct, unless na lang trip mong amuyin ang usok from buses / jeeps kahit naka recirculate mode ka.

for me kasi, I never use the fresh air mode, pasok lang alikabok sa auto kahit na gabi. advice ko lang, open mo na lang ng todo ang windows pag galing sa initan. pag mejo naka takbo na dun mo na lang buksan ang aircon para rin di mahirapan ang sasakyan.

another option is to let the experts do it. di naman masyado mahal ang gawa nyan..
