air con problem too

**conzky** · July 1st, 2003 02:05 PM

Gud day mga sir:

Mga sir, i hope you could help me with my aircon problem. Last week, my aircon just ceased cooling my car's compartment.I immediately suspected, it run out of Freon but, the compressor is still running meaning, there is still pressure and freon inside the system-i believe the system is equipped with a prewssure switch.

Now, i suspect that the reciever drier is clogged.
What is your opinion.

Thanks in advance.

conzky,

Mga dapat mong patingnan

evaporator for leak
A/C lines for leak
Compressor for leak sa may shaft seal

Those are the three main things na dapat mo patingnan.

Since your A/C stopped cooling, it's possible you have a leak in your system.

The compressor will still run even if there's no more freon, it will not generate cold air though because of the absence of the freon.

When you have your system checked, try to have your expansion valve and drier checked too for clogs.

conzky,

heres a simple trick to determine if theres a leak in the system: with the engine running, pop the hood check on that thingy (cylindrical with a view glass top) thats connected by tubes to the compressor. then ask somebody to switch on the aircon. initially, bubbles would appear on the glass but would disappear after a while. yung ang normal. if the bubbles dont disappear, may leak yung aircon system mo and malamang ubos na freon. hope this helps...

sir pa clean mo na and and pa leak test mo para bago na system mo kung dapat palitan na ang evaporator and expansion valve much better. palagyan mo ng freon na ma uv, ito bago ngayon sa mga naginstall ng aircon para madali ma trace kung saan ang leak.

hmmm... medyo mahirap yan newbie. aircon ba ang nawala (compressor) or yung blower lang? yung rear blower ba nawala din? baka naman loose witch lang sa panel.
