3 most common reasons for AC failure
There are many reasons why your Ford vehicle’s AC might stop working. Some of the most common ones are listed below-
Cabin air filters
The cabin air filters (also called microfilters) absorb any dust particles and pollens that might come through the air. So, a timely microfilter change/cleaning is necessary to ensure it is not clogged. As a rule of thumb, air filters need to be checked every 10,000-20,000 miles but you can refer to your Ford owner’s manual for more specific information.
Refrigerant leak
Over time the rubber hoses and seals break due to wear and tear. This can cause the AC refrigerant, Freon, to escape. If this refrigerant gets mixed with moisture can produce an extremely harmful acidic combination that can permanently damage the system. So, you should get such leaks fixed as soon as possible.
Compressor Failure
The compressor is the most important part of the whole air-conditioning system. This converts the gaseous coolant into a liquid thereby bringing down the vehicle temperature. Generally, if the AC is not turned on for long periods of time, the compressor parts might stick due to insufficient lubrication and movement. There is no option but to replace the compressor in that case.
