Problem overview

Some Lexus RX450h owners report experiencing issues with their air conditioning systems blowing hot air due to various factors. Common causes include low or overcharged refrigerant, compressor malfunctions, and dirty condenser or evaporator coils. Additionally, some owners find that a faulty blend door actuator, defective evaporator temperature sensor, or bad AC pressure sensor could be contributing to the problem. Unusual whirring noises, weak airflow, or burning odors from the AC vents may indicate a failing blower motor. Owners are also advised to check that the climate control is not set to "dual" mode, which can result in inconsistent temperatures on either side of the vehicle. Furthermore, inspecting the AC fuse for any damage is recommended, as a faulty fuse can lead to AC issues. It is advisable for owners experiencing these problems to seek professional assistance for proper diagnosis and resolution.
