Bmw f30 forum ac drain
If it's freezing over, that means you have refrigerant and the compressor is doing its job. These systems are not that complicated, so I can't imagine what else it might be. If not a dirty or clogged filter, it is likely something else restricting air flow from efficiently passing over the coil or perhaps the coil itself has become dirty and caked up with dust, insulating it from the warm air passing over it.

Everything went back to normal after a couple of hours. Welcome to the BMW 3-Series and 4-Series Forum (F30 / F32) F30POST. To thaw the coil, I first had to put in a clean filter, and then I had to manually turn the blower fan on and ran it for a while with the AC/compressor turned off in order to pass as much warm air as possible over the frozen coil. The air flow was too restricted from the clogged filter to efficiently exchange heat with the cold refrigerant inside the evap coil. What about a dirty/clogged cabin air filter? The evap coil in my home's central air system froze over once because I went too long without changing the filter. The official BMW method for cleaning the AC evap and drain is from the. Could it be that the drain in the evap box has plugged? Long shot. A/C Leaking into cabin General F30 Sedan / F32 Coupe / F36 Gran Coupe Forum.

Just don't buy a software fix, especially one that will reduce cooling capacity. I am puzzled as to why the current low temp setting of my evap would suddenly cause it to freeze after 3 and 1/2 years of normal function. Navigation not available on a 2013 BMW F30 with a retrofitted CIC. 2012 F30 AC Compressor is not functioning. Ice has to melt so air can exchange its heat withe refrigerant in the evap.

BTW, I've been using this OBC/IHKA feature for decades.going back to my 1985 e30 325e (which had the HIGH OBC).Once the evap is frozen and occluded, no a/c setting will work. I used one of my programmable preset buttons (#2) so that I can quickly access and turn on the parked-car ventilation without having to drill down into iDrive to turn it on when needed. Again, this will help dry up any residual condensate and prevent the growth of bacteria and mold. You can do this in iDrive and select an immediate venting session.which will run the HVAC blower for up to 30 minutes after turning the car off.
If it's too hot/humid to turn off the AC a few miles prior to reaching your destination.and you know you will be parking in a dark location with little air circulation.then utilize one of the park-car ventilation features of the HVAC system. Things that you can do to help prevent the return of the stinky AC is to turn off the AC a few miles prior to your destination (if it is possible).and keep the blower running to dry any condensate that has accumulated. So if you're running your AC on a hot humid day, then you park the car in your home garage or parking garage at work that is enclosed, dark and no air cirulation.then the problem will continue to occur (stinky AC). The smell is coming from the growth of bacteria and mold.which loves darkness.
Once you kill the bacteria/mold (this time).you can help prevent the smell from returning by utilizing some features of the IHKA system and make sure that you don't park the car basically putting it away "wet" in a dark location with no air circulation.
