Is your AC not working? The air conditioner in your car is a relatively complex component that continuously transforms the refrigerant from gas to liquid form and back again as it flows through the compressor, condenser, accumulator, and evaporator. To keep your cabin cool and comfy, you’ll need to have your AC serviced periodically. And if you already have an AC issue, have it promptly repaired at your local Ford dealership.

Preventive maintenance will ensure your AC has a long lifespan. With annual inspections, our technicians can check for leaks and test the whole system, making on-the-spot repairs with any minor faults that would otherwise become worse over time.

Respond Quickly To Air-Con Problems

If your AC starts blowing only warm air, you might have a refrigerant leak on your hands. Further symptoms of a malfunction include no air blowing out of the vents, which typically indicates a fault with the blower or blower motor, and bad-smelling AC air, which means mold or mildew is accumulating inside the system.

Strange noises are another sign of AC trouble; rattling sounds may mean a leaf is trapped in the blower or that the compressor’s clutch is malfunctioning. Knocking, grinding, and whining noises are also possible when an air conditioner fails. Finally, if the drain line becomes clogged, a buildup of moisture could cause water to drip under the dashboard.

 

Run Defrost Mode Weekly

Even in the heat of summer, it’s a good idea to run defrost mode at full power once a week for ten minutes. This combats humidity, removing the moisture that creates a breeding ground for mold. It also helps the system to maintain a suitable refrigerant gas pressure.

 

Keep Your Cabin Clean and Dust-Free

The cleaner the interior of your car, the less dirt and mold spores will get into the AC. Keeping your car clean not only makes it more pleasant for you and your passengers but also helps your AC last longer.
