How can I make my Cherokee air conditioner colder?

Park in the shade whenever you can, and use a reflective sunshade in the windshield when you’re parked. If you’re the only one in the car, close all the vents except the ones that point toward you. Give the system the final boost it needs with an A/C performance check and recharge from Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Why do I get hot air from my Cherokee A/C?

If your car’s air conditioning isn’t blowing cold air at all (or it tries, then turns warm), you could have a clogged expansion valve, a faulty compressor clutch, a leak, or a malfunctioning fuse in the system.

How does my A/C system get a leak?

A/C system leaks are often due to a combination of age and moisture. Rubber seals and gaskets naturally degrade over time, allowing refrigerant to exit and moisture to enter your Cherokee's A/C system.

Does the A/C in my Cherokee rely on gas?

While your vehicle’s A/C system doesn’t directly use fuel, it does draw power from the engine, which can impact the fuel consumption of your Cherokee.

What can cause the A/C in my Cherokee to smell like vinegar?

Moisture can accumulate on your vehicle’s A/C system components, creating the perfect breeding ground for bacteria. As this bacteria grows, it can cause the air conditioning system in your Cherokee to have a vinegar-like smell.

Why does my Cherokee’s A/C only work when the car is moving?

If your A/C only works when the vehicle is moving, there could be a problem with part of your Cherokee’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.

Jeep Cherokee A/C Repair

When you get in the car on a hot summer day, the last thing you want is a broken air conditioner. Your steering wheel feels like lava. That puddle in the driver’s seat? Sweat. Ugh. You take a deep breath and ask yourself, “Who can fix my Jeep Cherokee A/C?” Firestone Complete Auto Care — that’s who! We’ve got experience with Jeep vehicles, and our qualified technicians can diagnose and service the A/C system in your 2021 Jeep. Steer your Jeep Cherokee to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care

In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 2021 Jeep Cherokee A/C system to see if repair work is required. This check includes a visual inspection, performance test, and pressure and leak test. If any signs point to a possible leak, we’ll send a special U/V dye through the system, or use something called a “sniffer.” A “sniffer” isn’t a technician with a good nose! It’s a machine that’s used on different parts of your Jeep Cherokee A/C system to detect refrigerant fumes escaping from the system. If your system has a leak, we can get it fixed.

Cherokee A/C Recharge

Let's say we repair your 2021 Jeep Cherokee A/C system. We will also perform an A/C evacuation and recharge. To do this, one of our technicians will remove the refrigerant in your A/C system (if there is even any left to remove). Then, they’ll perform an evacuation (also known as a discharge) on the entire system per Jeep guidelines. To finish, we’ll add new refrigerant to recharge the A/C system, and once the technician tests the cool blast for themselves, you’re all set. Our technicians know how to keep your A/C in tip-top shape with 2021 Jeep Cherokee A/C recharges.

Common Jeep Cherokee A/C Problems

Warm air isn't the only Jeep Cherokee A/C problem you may encounter. Another common A/C problem is weak airflow, which could be caused by mold or mildew buildup, a loose hose, an old ventilation fan, or a compromised seal. An A/C system that starts off blowing cold air but then turns warm can mean there’s a malfunctioning compressor clutch, a leak, or a blown fuse. Are you breathing in some “interesting” new odors in your 2021 Jeep Cherokee? You could have a moldy evaporator case, or you may simply need a new cabin air filter installed. Our technicians will work to solve your A/C problems to the best of their ability. Don’t sweat it — we’re here to help you chill out again in your Cherokee.
