air conditioning not working Page 22

Ah, the classic Australian summer betrayal: your air conditioning deciding to take a holiday. Common culprits include a refrigerant leak, a faulty compressor, or simply a clogged cabin filter. Before you start smashing things, check the fuse box and thermostat settings. If it's a refrigerant issue, expect repairs to run anywhere from a few hundred to over a thousand AUD depending on severity.

Common issues:

• Leaking refrigerant
• Electrical faults
• Compressor failure
• Clogged filters
