How do I troubleshoot a malfunctioning AC in my Kia Sportage?

My Kia Sportage's AC seems to be blowing hot air instead of cold. I've checked the refrigerant and it's at the proper level. What else could be causing this issue?

Hi Ryan, first try checking the AC compressor and see if it's functioning properly. If it seems to be working fine, then the problem may lie with the AC condenser or evaporator. It's best to have a professional technician take a look at it to accurately diagnose and fix the issue.

Hey Ryan, another potential cause of a malfunctioning AC could be a clogged cabin air filter. This can restrict air flow and cause the AC to blow warm air. It's an easy and inexpensive fix, so I would recommend checking and replacing the filter if needed.

Hey Ryan, have you noticed any strange noises or smells coming from your AC when it's on? This could be a sign of a faulty AC compressor clutch, which can affect the overall function of the AC. Again, it's best to have a professional take a look at it to properly diagnose and fix the issue.
