Everyone enjoys the warmth of summer, but your car AC not working can turn a warm day unbearably hot very quickly. Your Pataskala, OH, Ford dealership can fix your AC for you. These are a few signs that your AC needs some help.
Noises From the AC
Your AC should make almost no noise. You’ll hear a slight clink now and again as the compressor switches on and off. You’ll also hear the sound of the cold air rushing in if you have the speed turned high enough. If you hear rattling, rustling, or clunking noises, this means there’s a problem in your AC that our technicians need to investigate.
Rustling noises could be caused by leaves and other debris that have blown into the AC system and are moving around. The rattling or clunking noise could be caused by damaged parts of the AC, for example, worn compressor bearings. Our technicians will check your AC and find and fix the problem.
