Possible Reasons for Ford Flex Not Blowing Hot Air
There are several potential causes for your Ford Flex to only blow hot air when the air conditioning is turned on. Some of the common reasons include:
1. Low or Overcharged Refrigerant: Low or overcharged refrigerant levels can cause the AC to blow hot air in a Ford Flex.
2. Compressor Malfunction: If the compressor fails, the AC will only blow hot air.
3. Dirty Condenser or Evaporator Coils: Accumulated dirt on the condenser or evaporator coils can lead to the AC blowing hot air.
4. Faulty Blend Door Actuator: A defective blend door actuator can cause the AC to only blow hot air.
5. Defective Evaporator Temperature Sensor: If the evaporator temperature sensor develops a defect, the compressor may not turn on, causing the AC to only blow hot air.
6. Bad AC Pressure Sensor: A bad AC pressure sensor can also lead to the AC blowing hot air.
7. Electrical Climate Control Issue: An electrical climate control issue is also listed as a common reason for the air conditioning not working in a Ford Flex.
It’s important to have these potential causes checked by a qualified mechanic to diagnose and fix the issue with your Ford Flex’s air conditioning system.

Why is my car not blowing hot air on heat?
Low coolant: Whether caused by a leak or water evaporation, low coolant is the most common source of poor heater output. Thermostat: A stuck-open thermostat prevents the engine (and coolant) from heating up. Heater core: A clogged heater core restricts coolant flow, giving up little or no heat.
Why is my truck blowing cold air but not hot?
There are lots of ways this could happen. There could be junk or corrosion blocking up the heater core’s internal tubes, which could be fixed with some flushing. Or the heater core fins may also be blocked with debris, including pine needles, lint, or other tiny particles that find their way into the heater core.
Why is my fan on but not heat?
Check Furnace Thermostat Settings
In this case, you should ensure the thermostat isn’t set to cool instead of heat. This sounds simple, but it’s a pretty common mistake. The fan constantly runs when it’s turned on. It can make you believe that it’s the furnace that is running when it’s only the blower that’s on.
How do I know if my heater core is clogged?
In some instances the heat in your car may work just fine during mild cold spells. But fail when the cold gets really bad this. Situation is suggestive of a heater core that is partially clogged.
Why is my truck blowing cold air but no heat?
A car heater can fail in several ways, but when it blows cold air, the two likely causes are that the coolant isn’t flowing through the heater core or air from the blower motor isn’t being directed through the heater core.
Why does my fan work on cool but not heat?
Check Furnace Thermostat Settings
Incorrect thermostat settings can be the cause behind no heat coming out of the vents, even with the furnace blower turned on. Check the thermostat to ensure the setting is in HEAT instead of COOL. It is a common mistake that happens.
Why would my car overheat but the heater blows cold air?
If your coolant level is a-okay, but your car heater is blowing cold air and your engine is overheating, then you have a clog in your cooling system. Conversely, if your engine temperatures are unrealistically low after a drive, your thermostat is likely the culprit.
Why is my Ford Flex climate control not working?
The most common reasons a Ford Flex ac isn’t working are a refrigerant leak, an electrical climate control issue, or a problem with the air conditioning compressor.
Why is my car fan not blowing hot air?
If the heater isn’t blowing hot air at you when you turn the system on, the blower fan might have a problem. Either it’s not getting electrical power or, more likely, the motor itself has simply burned out. A blower motor in an older vehicle is likely to burn out over time, and may need replacement.
Why is my truck only blowing lukewarm air?
Your thermostat may be stuck, which can prevent the heater system from warming up sufficiently. If your heater is blowing lukewarm air rather than cold air, this may be the culprit. Air bubbles may be trapped inside of the cooling system, which can cause malfunction. This air must be flushed out by a professional.
