Hyundai Santa Fe aircon not cold?
Diagnosis: AC system leak, low freon level
SIGNS THAT YOUR A/C SYSTEM IS LOW ON FREON/ REFRIGERANT:
1. Lack of cooling
The primary symptom associated with a low refrigerant charge is that the air blowing from the vents isn’t cold. Instead of that cold blast, the A/C system spews warm or hot air.
2. Rapid cycling of the compressor clutch
This can be heard as a clicking noise followed by high-speed radiator fan operation and surges in engine idle speed.
3. A Hissing Air Conditioner
The refrigerant in your system is under pressure; as such, if a leak develops, you may hear a light hissing sound as the refrigerant escapes through the leak. Sometimes these kinds of leaks can also be accompanied by a bubbling sound for the same reason.
4. Signs of refrigerant leaks
You may be able to spot a refrigerant leak — look for traces of oil on A/C components, especially near the crimped ends of the rubber AC lines, and around the compressor. In most cases, however, leaks are hard to spot with the naked eye. Professionals use an ultraviolet light and goggles to spot dye leaking from the system.
Solution: General aircon cleaning & service with leak detection. Replace front & rear evaporator, expansion valves and drier. Flushed ac system, recharge freon on this Hyundai Santa Fe.
