How to Make Sure Your A/C Beats the Heat

Check the drive belt. Verify proper tension and check for signs of wear.
Clean the condenser. It’s often integrated with the radiator and the oil cooler. All should be free of any debris that can build up between units. Use compressed air or a power washer to remove dust between condenser fins that can reduce cooling efficiency.
Inspect the compressor and hoses. Oil seepage from the compressor, hoses, connectors or couplings can be a potential problem. Contact your New Holland dealer for suggested repair options if you detect leakage.
Keep cab filters clean. Frequently clean both the fresh air and recirculating air filters.
Check the evaporator drain hose. Don’t let water collect in the evaporator box. Make sure the drain hose is unobstructed.
Keep the cab airflow high. Especially in high humidity, holding the cab’s fan speed higher will reduce the likelihood of the evaporator core freezing. For non Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) systems, you should change cab temperature by adjusting the temperature setting before decreasing the fan speed.
Don’t repair air conditioning systems yourself. Clean Air Act legislation requires that air conditioning systems be serviced only by personnel certified in refrigerant recovery and recycling.
