How Can I Tell If My Toyota Camry’s A/C Compressor Is Failing?

The A/C compressor is responsible for circulating refrigerant in the system. If it fails, the A/C won’t blow cold air. Common signs of a failing compressor include:

Clicking o r grinding noises when turning on the A/C
A/C clutch not engaging compressor doesn’t turn on
Weak o r warm airflow from vents
Burning smell due to compressor overheating
If the compressor is failing, you may need to replace it, which can cost between PKR 30,000 – 80,000 in Pakistan.

The A/C compressor is a crucial component responsible for circulating refrigerant through the system, and if it begins to fail, the A/C system won’t blow cold air. Common signs of a failing compressor in a Toyota Camry include clicking o r grinding noises when the A/C is turned on, which can indicate internal damage. A failure to engage the A/C clutch means that the compressor wont turn on, resulting in no cooling. If youre experiencing weak o r warm airflow from the vents, o r a burning smell due to the compressor overheating, these are strong indicators of a malfunctioning compressor. In most cases, the compressor will need to be replaced, which can cost between PKR 30,000 and 80,000 in Pakistan, depending on the parts quality and source.
