My car’s air conditioning isn’t working..?? This could be the problem…

The air conditioning system in your car works by passing air through this part, an Evaporator Core. It is located deep in the inside the dash of your vehicle. This one is plugged up severely with debris and will not allow air to flow smoothly through it any longer. This causes extremely low air flow out of the vents and poor air-cooling capability.

If it is not severely plugged up like this, we can try any clean it in the vehicle but when they get this bad it must be replaced. This is a big job as you can see by the picture below. Most vehicles require the entire dash to be removed to replace the part.

In most cases this is unavoidable but some contributing factors that could accelerate this condition are: 1) Smoking in your vehicle, 2) driving in dusty conditions, 3) using chemical odor eliminators, 4) living in high pollen environments, 5) anything that would put oily fumes inside the cabin of your vehicle. These items potentially cause contaminants to adhere to the Evaporator like dust and pollens.
