Auto AC Repair in Fort Myers, Florida

Arm Yourself With Knowledge About Auto AC Repairs

As the name suggests, our city is home to a historic fort. You certainly won’t need any weapons when it comes to auto AC repair, but it might help to arm yourself with a bit of knowledge about potential problems and remedies. Of course, we’ll need to check the system to identify the underlying AC problem with certainty, but we’re glad to share some of the possible issues that might need correcting. Often, your AC needs a recharge of refrigerant. A low refrigerant level usually manifests itself by the system working yet not blowing cold/cold enough air through the vents. This is not unexpected if the system has been in use for several years, but a recharge shouldn’t be necessary often. If the refrigerant level is low sooner or more often than anticipated, we’ll need to look for leaks. If your vehicle has been sitting unused, or if the air conditioner has gone without use for a while, your blend air door is more likely to become immobile than it otherwise might be. If this occurs, you’ll notice that the air is too hot or cold and cannot be regulated using the driver’s controls. The blend air door facilitates the mixing of cold and hot air to achieve your temperature setting. A blown fuse or broken wire could be at fault if your AC isn’t working. The system may not be receiving the electrical power it needs to operate. Strange sounds, a fluid leak in an area that shouldn’t be wet, and warm air might point to the need for compressor replacement. Also, you may notice frost on vent openings if the orifice tube (expansion valve) is clogged. Other components that may cause trouble are the condenser and dryer.
