My ac works, but not super cold, most of the time it blows cold when the weather temp. Is not hot. Let just say its blows cold in the morning and when the sun goes down. I also notice one of my fan is not spinning. I think its the ac fan. Could this be the problem why my ac only blows cold when its not hot outside?
please help!

Hi disbtee,

Getting the faulty fan replaced should solve the problem.

With a single fan working, the condenser is not being cooled sufficiently and that would affect the cooling efficiency. While the car is travelling, moving air would be able to cool the condenser more and during this time the A/C cooling efficiency should be better.

Once in slow traffic, the cooling efficiency would drop.

Hey thanks,
Yeah I was messing around with the condenser fan and it worked, I took it out and test it. Saves me some money from buying a new/used one.
