The Most Common Heater Problems

If your car’s heater isn’t working as it should, we’ll check it to ensure an accurate diagnosis. However, we can generally speak about some of the most common heater problems drivers experience. Topping the list is an insufficient amount of coolant. That’s right. Coolant. This fluid’s job is to absorb heat from the engine and dissipate it through the radiator. However, when heat is needed inside the passenger cabin, the hot coolant is transferred to the heater core so that warm air can enter through your vents. Not enough coolant, not enough heat. If you have an adequate coolant level and still don’t get warm air, then a heater core problem is suspected. This component has metal tubes and fans. If a leak develops, the core won’t be able to work effectively. This condition often accompanies foggy window interiors or the sweet smell of antifreeze. Water leaks in other areas, such as around hoses, can also be to blame. Another potential problem is a broken thermostat that controls the heated fluid flow to the heater core. Finally, aged controls (buttons, levers, etc.) can sometimes malfunction, preventing the heater from working as you intended.
