What might be causing your A/C to stop cooling you down? 

 

There are many potential causes for your AC to blow warm or hot air into the cabin rather than cold, fresh air.

 

Low Refrigerant: Low refrigerant will prevent your air conditioner from operating. This is the most common problem for an AC not to blow cold. Low refrigerant can stem from a number of things, including leaks and failed components.  The level of refrigerant in your system decreases over time, but leaks can also occur.

 

Bad Clutch Cycling Switch: If the clutch cycling switch has failed, then the electromagnetic clutch on the air compressor won’t kick in, which means that the refrigerant cannot be pressurized and the system won’t work.

 

Blocked or Broken Condenser: If the condenser has been blocked up with debris or is damaged, you won’t get cold or even cool air from the system.

 

Restrictions in the System: If there’s a restriction somewhere in the system it will prevent the A/C from blowing cold.
