i dont know how this happend yesterday i did a anti freeze change on my car and i did a flush for the radiator it told me to run the car for 10 min with the heater on i did that and today i go to turn my air on and its blowing hot so i let it run for awhile thinking that its going to get cold and i see smoke starts to come out like a couple of min later i see that smoke is starting to come in the car and i look outside there was smoke coming from the engine bay so i turned off the ac and opened my hood to see what was smoking after the smoked cleared i notice that the ac compressor was burnt at the end of it.... what could be the problem that i am having and what could have caused this....

 

Time to buy a new compressor. I got one for sale if you need it. My parents live in Hallandale Beach.

 

anyone else know what the problem is

Compressors can seize up from being overcharged with refrigerant. Have you ever done anything to the AC? If it was ever open & moisture got in there, maybe some ice blocked the flow at the evaporator? Maybe some dessicant got loose from the receiver/dryer? Sometimes the compressor just seizes up kinda for no reason...
