CAR HEATER & BLOWER MOTOR REPAIR
Contact us for affordable heater blower motor repair and replacement. If your vehicle’s heater isn’t working as it should, it could be due to issues with the car thermostat, blower motor, or electrical system. These components are crucial for ensuring that your car remains comfortable, especially during colder months. Our experienced mechanics are here to provide fast, efficient repairs to restore your car's heating system.
Car Thermostat Replacement
Overheating Engine: If your car’s temperature gauge shows your engine is running too hot, or the engine itself overheats, a faulty thermostat might be the cause.
Poor Engine Performance: A bad thermostat can affect engine performance, leading to sluggish acceleration, reduced fuel efficiency, and rough idling.
Cold Engine: If your engine is slow to warm up or doesn’t reach the proper temperature, it could be a sign of a thermostat stuck in the "open" position.
Coolant Leaks: If you notice puddles of coolant or a sweet smell coming from the engine, a malfunctioning thermostat could be causing leaks.
Car Heater Blower Motor Repair
Unusual Noises: Grinding or squeaking sounds when you turn on the heater can point to problems with the motor’s bearings or fan blades.
Burning Smell: A burning smell can indicate overheating in the motor or an electrical malfunction, which could be caused by worn-out bearings or debris in the motor.
Fan Speed Issues: If your fan works intermittently or only at certain speeds, the blower motor may be malfunctioning. This could be due to a faulty motor resistor or a failing motor.
Car Heater Electrical Repair
Electrical Shorts: Short circuits can cause blown fuses, burned-out wiring, or a complete failure of the heater system.
Faulty Temperature Control: If the heater blows hot air when it should be cool, or vice versa, it could be due to an electrical issue within the temperature control system.
Strange Smells: Burning smells, such as melting insulation or overheating components, are red flags that your electrical system needs urgent attention.
Why Did My Car Heater Stop Working?
The most common fix for a car heater blower not working is a heater motor replacement. In some cases the problem can stem from under the hood. Other related causes if your heats not working include:
Coolant leak: low coolant supply to the heater core will result in no heat in your car, truck or SUV
Heater core repair: a small radiator that controls coolant flow for heat inside the cabin
Heater blower motor: no heat blowing inside the cabin
Radiator problem: a radiator repair or recore may correct a no heat problem
Faulty HVAC controls and valves: small parts in the car's heating & AC system that can fail
Thermostat problem: a stuck or faulty thermostat will not enable the heat to kick in
If your vehicle is warmed up and the vents are blowing cold air, the problem is likely your heater or engine coolant. Your car's heating system uses coolant (antifreeze) from the radiator. If coolant is low and there's not enough to supply both the engine and the heating system, the engine takes precedence. A more serious problem when your heat is not working is the water pump. The water pump is responsible for circulating coolant throughout the engine and radiator, if the problem is the pump, coolant runs through the engine rather than the heating system.
Should I Repair or Replace a Car Heater Blower Motor?
When a vehicle stops blowing air from the vents caused by a bad heater blower motor - replacement is required. Your car's heater blower is the main electric motor responsible for blowing both hot and cold air out of the vents. If it no longer works or stopped working at certain speeds the problem is likely a heater blower motor repair. Aside from the discomfort, you might also notice the window defogger stopped working among other issues such as fogged windows and antifreeze smell inside the cabin. Fortunately, if it's a heater blower motor replacement, there are a few signs we describe below that let you know it's time for a repair.
