Traverse AC Failure

Hey, my 2012 Chevrolet Traverse with a gasoline engine is having AC issues. It just stopped cooling, and the whole system doesn't even seem to switch on. I've checked the fuses, but they seem fine. Any ideas?

A 2012 Chevrolet Traverse experienced an AC failure where the system stopped cooling and wouldn't switch on. The fuses were checked and found to be fine. The issue was identified as faulty valves within the AC system, which control the flow of refrigerant. The solution required professional repair, and after addressing the faulty valves, the AC was restored to proper function.

Did this summary help you solve your problem?

Sounds familiar. I had a similar problem with my old 2014 Audi A4. The AC just quit. In my case, it turned out to be faulty valves within the AC system itself. Are you hearing any weird noises when you try to turn the AC on?

No weird noises that I can hear. Just... nothing. When you say 'valves', are we talking about something I can check myself, or is that specialist territory? Also, do you remember roughly what that cost you to fix?

Definitely specialist territory I'm afraid. The valves control the flow of refrigerant. Unless you have the right tools and know how to handle refrigerant safely, you're better off leaving it to the pros. Honestly, just take it to a trusted workshop.

Thanks, I appreciate the advice. I took it to a local shop, and you were spot on - faulty valves in the AC system. Cost me about 1000€ to get it all sorted, but at least it's blowing cold air again!
