Do not confuse the air conditioning , heating and ventilation of the Kia Cee D. Heating and air conditioning are devices that lower or increase the temperature. The first by means of the heat generated by the engine block, and the other with a fluid refrigerant . Ventilation is the set of circuits and devices that will allow air to reach the interior of the vehicle. The fundamental element will be the kicker which emits air into your cabin. If there is very little or no air supply, it is probably a malfunction of ventilation. We will discover in this article how a ventilation works, in order to better perceive the problems and understand how to solve it.
How ventilation works on a Kia Cee D
The ventilation is used to start circulating the air in the cabin of the Kia Cee D. For the blower, this usually consists of a resistor, a turbine, and a motor. The more the integral resistance of the circuit is reduced, the faster the turbine runs. By turning the switch in the passenger compartment, the resistance is reduced.
Kia Cee D: regular ventilation problems
Dirty air ducts
If the ventilation works but little air enters the interior of the Kia Cee D, it is likely that your air shutters are blocked. Thanks to a screwdriver flat, it is possible to remove the covers of the air vents. It is only necessary to check inside if these are congested. If this is the case it is possible to scour them, but also the shutters.
Dirty cabin filter
If you ever smell odors and this ventilation lacks intensity, the malfunction probably comes from the cabin filter of the Kia Cee D. The latter becomes blocked and piled up with bacteria with time. It is quite common that it is dirty, it is used to filter the air that reaches us. There is no manufacturer's instruction on when to change it. It is simply advised to remove it, look at its condition. If it is completely dirty, it must be replaced.
Resistance of the blower HS
If the ventilation setting of your Kia Cee D does not work well, or even not at all, it is probably due to the resistance. The resistance is used to increase the voltage to increase the speed of this turbine. A strange malfunction of this ventilation is probably linked to a resistance malfunction. This microchip is difficult to repair. It needs to be replaced.
HS blower motor
There are two fairly regular problems with the kicker. The brushes are damaged. Over time, they may deteriorate and cause false contact. Your fan may spin randomly or even not work at all. It also happens that the dysfunction comes from bearings of the motor. If the ventilation hisses, like a rusty mechanic, the bearings may lack lubrication.
