Is Your Car AC Not Working? Visit Your Chevy Dealer Today

October 4th, 2023 by

Is your car AC not working when you need it the most? Few things are worse than getting into your Chevy on a hot day, only to realize the AC isn’t blowing cold air. Before you sweat it out, visit your Chevy dealer to get the air conditioner diagnosed and fixed.

Low Refrigerant

Your Chevy’s AC uses refrigerant to draw heat from the cabin air and cool the space. Over time, refrigerant can leak through small openings, causing lower pressure and reduced cooling capacity. When you bring your car to the dealer, our technicians will use specialized techniques to locate the leak.

They will inject UV dye into the AC system and use a UV light to pinpoint the exact location of the leak for accurate repair. After repair, the technicians will recharge the refrigerant to restore your AC’s capacity to cool the cabin.

Faulty Compressor Clutch

The AC compressor clutch is the component that transmits power from the engine crankshaft to the compressor through a drive belt. When energized, the clutch engages the compressor to start refrigerant flow throughout the system.

If the clutch is faulty, it can disengage the compressor, preventing it from pumping refrigerant to the system and cooling the air. Our technicians can diagnose clutch issues and install a new clutch assembly to enable your compressor to run smoothly.

Broken Blower Motor

The blower motor is responsible for pushing air across the evaporator and through the vents into the cabin. If the motor burns out or the blower wheel breaks, your AC will stop cooling the air. Our technicians can replace the blower motor to get air circulating again inside your Chevy’s cabin.

Failing Cooling Fans

Your AC uses cooling fans to blow air over the condenser and dissipate heat. If the fans aren’t spinning at the right speed or frequency, the AC won’t work properly. If the fans aren’t spinning at all, your AC won’t blow any air when you switch it on.

Fans may stop working due to electrical issues, obstructions from debris, or a broken fan motor. Chevy technicians can troubleshoot your fans, remove blockages, and replace the fans if needed.

Electrical Issues

Problems with fuses, sensors, wiring, switches, and controls can disrupt the power supply and hinder AC operation. Short circuits, bad connections, and faulty components like pressure switches can cause the entire AC system to shut down and stop working.

If you notice a burning smell in the cabin, you have faulty wiring in the cooling system. Our technicians have diagnostic tools to pinpoint electrical issues in the AC system. They will also replace damaged fires, fuses, and sensors to get the AC working again.

If your AC isn’t keeping your cabin cool, get it fixed right away. Contact Woodstock Chevrolet to schedule a professional diagnosis. If you need new AC parts, our technicians will order and install OEM ones for you.
