Hyundai: 2002 Sonata AC problem

    2002 Sonata AC problem

    I have a 2002 Sonata 4cyl. that after the AC has been blowing a while a mist
    will come out of the vents and then the pressure will go away. It will still
    blow slightly and the temperature still seems to work. You just seem to
    loose pressure. Any ideas? The dealership of course says that it does not
    do it when they have it in there so therefore they can not fix it.

    What do you mean by losing pressure? Do you mean that the blower fan slows
    down or that the air coming out of the vents slows down or stops? (I
    presume you don't have automatic climate controls).

    Alan,

    Just a guess, but sounds like it's freezing up in the cooling coils. On
    humid days that can happen. If you turn the A/C off for a few minutes
    but leave the fan running on high it would clear up the problem
    temporarily, if that's what's happening. To avoid it, you could try
    running with recirculated air on humid days.

    The 'mist' you are seeing is water/water vapor being forced out of the
    vents by your fan.

    It sounds like the AC is freezing up. If the humidity is really high
    this can happen. Turning off the AC and leaving the blower motor
    running will melt the ice and restore the airflow. If it happens
    continually I would suspect that the temperature cutout switch is not
    working, it is designed to cycle the AC system off once the coils
    reach a preset temperature to help avoid icing.

    Well unfortunately, that's not normal. The evaporator is not supposed to get
    frosted under any circumstances. I hope you still have the b-to-b warranty!
