You may have noticed that your air conditioner has stopped working or is not working properly. The problem could be minor such as a lose wire.

You may need to visit your mechanic and sometimes a genuine spare parts dealer to get the problem fixed.

Dirty Coils
As you continue using your car, dirt, grime, and mineral scales can cause blockage in the condenser oil. The blockage makes it difficult for the air conditioner to eject sufficient heat from the system. When this occurs, your system will keep running trying to cool. The increased pressure on the AC causes the compressor to overheat causing damage. In the worst case scenario, the compressor may get too damaged that you may need to get to your auto spares dealer to get it replaced.
Blockage in the Suction Lines
It is possible for dirt and debris to cause blockage or damage to the refrigerant lines. You will notice this problem if the AC is not cooling effectively. When this problem is not fixed, any increase in pressure and temperature leads to the overheating. Your mechanic will help identify the blockage and clean it out before the damage causes the compressor to stop working.
Damaged Suction Line

Since you will need a replacement, ensure that visit a genuine auto spares shop to get the right parts. A poor replacement could end up costing you more money to replace the entire compressor. There have been cases where an inexperienced mechanic adds excess refrigerant or sometimes the wrong type. Such mistakes cause severe damage to the compressor that it need to be replaced in entirety.
