Ugh, the weather is scorching and my car's air conditioning has decided to take a vacation! Turning on the AC results in only hot air blowing through the vents.
The car is a reliable [year] [make] [model] with [mileage] miles. Always maintained it well, so this sudden AC issue is a surprise.
Possible culprits:
Low Refrigerant: Maybe the system is low on refrigerant, which is essential for cool air.
Faulty AC Compressor: The compressor could be malfunctioning and not properly circulating the refrigerant.
Cabin Air Filter Clogged: A clogged filter might be restricting airflow, preventing cool air from reaching the cabin.
Plan of Attack:
Consulting the Manual: Going to check the owner's manual for any troubleshooting tips or DIY solutions.
Visual Inspection: Taking a peek under the hood to see if there are any visible leaks or signs of damage to the AC system.
Mechanic Visit: If the issue seems beyond a DIY fix or I can't pinpoint the culprit, a mechanic visit is likely necessary.
