What to do if your air conditioner has a burned out motor?
As soon as the compressor tries to start the circuit breaker trips or fuse blows. The compressor motor has burned out, is internally shorted or gounded. A service technician will use a VOM and typically will find low resistance (low Ohms) between one or more compressor terminals and ground.
What happens when the clutch on the Air Conditioner breaks?
However, it’s much more common for the clutch to break and make it impossible to turn on the air instead. Without the clutch, the compressor doesn’t receive any power from the engine, so you are left without air conditioning. When the compressor clutch breaks, the bearing inside the compressor can become damaged as well.
How can I tell if my air conditioner has burned out?
When an air conditioning compressor has “burned out” by shorting of internal components – it will fail to start at all. This failure is detected by disconnecting all power and wiring from the unit and measuring resistance (ohms) between the motor start/common and run/common terminals.
What happens if your air conditioner compressor gets stuck?
The AC compressor is the most integral part of the air conditioning system which is responsible for pressurizing the refrigerant and its distribution. In case there is any problem with the AC compressor, your car’s AC will not deliver cold air and may even cause the engine to seize if the compressor gets stuck.
Why is the AC not working on my Honda Odyssey?
Everyone seems to have the same problem for the 2005 Odyssey. You need a new compressor coil (Stator). Yours must have over heated and burnt out. This is the electromagnet that engages the clutch. I just change mine a few hours ago. You can do it without opening the a/c system. Google it. There are already a lot of great DIY help.
Why does my Honda Odyssey clutch not engage?
The system is charge correctly but the compressor wont engage. I turn the ac button on and off while the vehicle is running and it still won’t engage. I am getting power to it, the pulley spins but the clutch won’t engage. PLEASE CAN’T ANY ONE HELP ME TO RESOLVE THIS ASAP.
What happens if you have a bad air conditioner clutch?
If the compressor clutch gets damaged, it will keep the air conditioning system permanently on or off. A faulty compressor clutch can be replaced but it is generally recommended to replace the whole compressor to save time and additional cost. How to Diagnose if the Car AC Compressor Has Failed?
