Weird AirCon Problem (Now working, Later not)

[Bek]

Guys, the problem is, my AC is working sa simula. Then after few kilometers, the AC will not work anymore. Fan lang ang gumagana and the compressor hindi. What i usually do is turned off the AC. After half an hour, turn on again the AC, then it will work again just fine. After few kilometers, it will fail again... so i will turnoff again the AC... CASA is telling me to replace the compressor, expansion valve,...etc. Too expensive!!! Parang highway robbery. Can you give me idea on what is the problem?

Check mo kung naikot ang auxiliary Fan ng Condenser, pag di naikot mag ha high preasure ang system mag cut off ang compressor kaya di nalamig pag medyo tumagal na naka On....

anong brand ng car mo? pag sira ang condenser Fan motor ang price niyan range 1K-3K pang honda, sa labas mo bibilhin, pag sa casa 10K yan...

Honda Civic 2002 ang car ko. Auxiliary fan is behaving the same with compressor. Actually, sabay sila mag on and off. At first, aux fan is also working, then together with compressor, di sila mag-work. After that, mag-work uli sila together.

maraming factor kasi yan puwedeng barado, electrical. Di naman siya barado kasi sabi mo nalamig naman siya, kung electrical naman puwedeng preasure switch or thermostat, Try mong palitan ng preasure switch bka nag ti trip..

Pag ganon pa rin kailangan mo ng pa servisan ang car mo, ang price ng compressor ng Honda ay 12K pag tumaas pa diyan mahal na yon, expansion valve 1K Drier 600, evaporator 2K made in malaysia, Idea lang kung sakaling papalitan mo na para isang gawaan nalang

Thank you. This is very helpful!
Since location mo is Laguna, may mai-suggest ka bang shop sa Location mo. I am here sa Cabuyao kasi. Sana 'yung maayos and malinis mag-repair. 'Yung sa barkada ko nagpa-ayos ng AC, Honda civic din, napaka-unprofessional ang trabaho. Ayaw ko naman sa CASA... sobra ang mahal!

Since sa Cabuyao Laguna ka, sa Biñan, Laguna, i -suggest sa Saint Vincent Refrigeration and Air-conditioning, Barangay San Vicente Biñan, Laguna, near San Vicente Church, pa check-up mo muna pag my ginagawa schedule pa yan kinabukasan, meron na rin parts diyan...

mabuhay...

Try checking your aircon drive belt also. I had pretty the same problem but got fixed when I replaced the worn out drive belt. Hope this helps.

mukhang barado lang yung expansion valve. pag normal pa ang temperature ng expansion valve, nakakadaan pa yung refrigerant (aka freon, the brand) kaya nakakabalik pa ulit yun sa compressor. pero pag lumamig na yung expansion valve, lumiit na yng butas kaya konti na lang ang bumabalik sa compressor at wala na ma-compress na refrigerant... kaya wala ng lamig na pumupunta sa evaporator.



hope this helps!
