car ac compressor running but won't take freon
If your Car ac is not working diagnosis compressor is running but
it won't take refrigerant (freon), there could be a few potential reasons for
this issue. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the problem:
Low Pressure Switch: Most AC systems have a low-pressure switch that prevents the compressor from running if the refrigerant levels are too low. This is a safety feature to prevent damage to the compressor. If the switch is faulty or the pressure is indeed too low, the compressor may not engage properly.
Check for Leaks:
If your AC system has a leak, adding more refrigerant won't solve the problem. It's important to locate and fix any leaks before attempting to recharge the system. Common signs of a leak include oily residue around fittings, connectors, or components.
Faulty Compressor:
Even though the compressor is running, it might not
be working efficiently due to internal mechanical issues. This can prevent
proper circulation of refrigerant. A faulty compressor might need professional
diagnosis and replacement.
