A Number of Reasons
If your car's A/C is making a strange noise, there could be a number of reasons why. In this blog post, we'll explore some of the most common reasons for a noisy car AC and what you can do to fix it.
Five Reasons Behind the Noise
- The compressor is damaged. If your compressor is damaged, it may make a hissing noise. You'll need to take your car to a mechanic to have the compressor replaced.
- The evaporator is dirty. If the evaporator is dirty, it may be causing the AC to work harder than necessary and make a loud noise as a result. To clean the evaporator, you'll need to remove the dash panel and clean it with a soft cloth and soapy water.
- The blower motor is damaged. If the blower motor is worn out or damaged, it may make squealing or grinding noises. You'll need to take your car to a mechanic to have the blower motor replaced.
- The condenser is damaged. If the condenser is damaged, it may make hissing or bubbling noises. You'll need to take your car to a mechanic so they can repair or replace the condenser.
- You have low refrigerant levels. If you have low refrigerant levels in your car, it may cause the AC to work harder than necessary and make strange noises as a result. You'll need to take your car to a mechanic who can recharge your refrigerant levels.
