Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Thermal Expansion Valve do?
The Thermal Expansion Valve (TX Valve) regulates the flow of refrigerant into the evaporator, ensuring the correct amount enters the system for efficient cooling and optimal air conditioning performance.
What are the symptoms of a faulty Thermal Expansion Valve?
Common symptoms include poor cooling performance, inconsistent vent temperatures, evaporator icing, abnormal system pressures, compressor cycling issues, and reduced air conditioning efficiency.
Will a faulty expansion valve stop my air conditioner from cooling?

Do I need to replace the receiver drier when replacing the expansion valve?

Can I replace the Thermal Expansion Valve myself?
Replacement requires the air conditioning system to be evacuated and re-gassed using specialised equipment. Professional installation by a qualified technician is recommended.
What causes a Thermal Expansion Valve to fail?
Expansion valves can fail due to contamination within the A/C system, moisture ingress, internal wear, corrosion, or debris from a failing compressor.
