❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. Why is my car AC not cooling?
Common reasons include low refrigerant due to leaks, a faulty compressor, a clogged condenser, a bad blower motor, or electrical issues. This tool helps narrow down the possibilities.
2. What does a "hissing" sound from the AC mean?
A hissing or sizzling sound often indicates a refrigerant leak, especially when the AC is running. It could be from a faulty valve or a crack in a hose or component. Get it checked immediately.
3. Why does my AC smell musty?
A musty or moldy smell typically means there's mold or mildew buildup on the evaporator coil inside your dashboard. This usually requires an AC system cleaning and potentially a new cabin air filter.
4. Is water dripping under the car from the AC normal?
Yes, a small puddle of clear water under the car after using the AC is normal. It's condensation from the evaporator. However, if it's a colored or oily liquid, or if water is dripping inside the car, it indicates an issue.
