The heater in your car is an important component, especially during the cold days as it maintains the right temperature inside the cabin. It might malfunction due to an inadequate coolant, issues in the heater core, malfunctioning thermostat or blocked heater controls. So, see the following slides which show various factors that affect the functioning of the heater in your car.

1. Factors That Affect the
Functioning of the Heater in
Your Car

2. When it comes to having a
comfortable ride there are
certain components in your
car which play a big role in
giving you a smooth ride.

3. Besides these components,
the heater of your car is also
very important for having a
comfortable ride especially
during the winter months.

4. As the component is not
used often chances are that it
may malfunction suddenly
and blow cold air instead of
hot air.

5. Here are the factors that
affect the functioning of
the heater in your car.

6. Inadequate
coolant

7. The coolant is one of the
most important fluid in
your car as It not only
helps in keeping the
engine cool but also plays
an equally important role
in the functioning of the
heater.

8. The coolant is brought
over from the engine
during the winter to the
heater core to help in the
blowing of hot air inside
the car.

9. However, if you
experience cool air
blowing continuously,
then you must inspect
the coolant level as a low
quantity of coolant can
affect the functioning of
the heater.

10. Issues in the
heater core

11. Whenever the heater
malfunctions and blows
cool air instead of hot air,
the issue can also be
caused due to problems
in the heater core.

12. Moreover, the coolant may
not be traveling through the
heater core properly and the
air from the blower motor
may not be reaching the
heater core or there might
be a clog somewhere.

13. However, if the coolant
level is adequate and the
heater is blowing cold air,
then there is no doubt
that the issue is caused
due to problems in the
heater core.

14. Malfunctioning
thermostat

15. The thermostat is an
important component of
your car and if you notice
that the thermostat gauge
remains on the “c” even
after the engine has time
to heat up, then the
thermostat might be
damaged.

16. Whenever the thermostat
is not able to send a
signal to the car that the
engine is warm, the
coolant won't be sent
over to provide heat to
your heater core and the
air will stay cool.

17. However, the good thing
about the thermostat is
that it is very easy to fix
and costs very less & you
should immediately fix it
by taking your car to a
technician.

18. Blocked heater
controls

19. Most of the people don't
realize that after years of
use, the control buttons
can get jammed up and
stop functioning.

20. If the coolant level is
adequate and there are
no issues with the heater
core, then you may need
to change some of the
control buttons or the
heater control valve.

21. Whenever the control
valve malfunctions, then
the car could get stuck
blowing cool air into the
cabin.
