CAR HEATER MOTOR REPAIR

Car heater repair is a necessary and common repair given our Canadian climate. The heater core is usually in bad shape when it comes to these repairs for a few reasons.

It gets hot inside the car while driving, and therefore breaks down faster than most other parts of your vehicle. Cars get exposed to road de-icing chemicals (salt).

A failed heater blower motor can also mean no heat in your vehicle. This is usually a fault in the power from the car's electrical system.

We believe it's a good idea to check your vehicle's heating system in late spring before the cold comes. No need to come into the garage for this one. Just turn on your heater and see if it blows heat.

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 of 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.
