Why Is My AC Compressor Turning On but Not Cooling?

If your car’s AC compressor is clicking on but you’re still getting warm air, several issues could be to blame. One common cause is low refrigerant—your system might have just enough pressure to engage the compressor but not enough to cool properly. Another possibility is a clogged expansion valve or orifice tube, which can restrict refrigerant flow. Usually, replacing the clogged or damaged part and then Flushing the AC System and recharging it can get the AC running again.
