What are the symptoms of a bad


AC evaporator?
Anytime the AC evaporator goes bad, the air
from the vents will be warmer than expected.
This is because a clogged or leaking evaporator
won't get enough refrigerant to cool the air.

In some vehicles, there may be some type of


warning like a blinking AC switch.

What is an air conditioning


evaporator?
To cool the interior of a vehicle, the air
conditioning system has to compress and expand
refrigerant, changing its temperature. The air
conditioner evaporator is what makes the
refrigerant cold. This part is typically found
underneath the dashboard.

How does an AC evaporator work?


As compressed refrigerant reaches the
evaporator, it passes through an expansion valve.
This rapidly depressurizes the refrigerant, causing
its temperature to drop dramatically. Now a cold
gas, the refrigerant passes through the evaporator,
causing that part's metallic core to become
extremely cold. The cold evaporator is in the
airbow path of the blower motor, and it cools
down the air that blows into the car's cabin.

Can I drive with a bad AC


evaporator?
Vehicles with a bad evaporator can be driven, but
they won't be comfortable when it's hot outside. In
extremely hot climates such as deserts, not
having a working air conditioner could be
dangerous for children and seniors.

How often do AC evaporators need


replacement?
Most cars will never need a new evaporator, but
there are factors that can shorten its life. The
evaporator is metallic, and if there's moisture in
the air conditioning system, that moisture can
cause corrosion. Likewise, a leaking heater core
can get coolant on the evaporator, potentially
ruining it.

Additionally, the rubber seals for the AC lines


connecting to the core may cause the evaporator
to leak, in which case the technician may
recommend replacement.
