One of the most common reasons why your car's A/C might stop blowing cold air is because the Freon levels are low. Freon is a refrigerant that helps to cool the air as it passes through the A/C unit. If the levels are low, it can cause the air to not be as cool as it should be.


Another reason why your A/C might not be working properly is that there is a problem with the compressor. The compressor is responsible for circulating the refrigerant through the A/C unit. If it's not working properly, it can cause the air to not be as cool as it should be.

You could have a leak in your A/C system. All A/C systems are closed, so if there's a leak, it can cause the refrigerant to escape. This can lead to decreased cooling performance and eventually, no cooling at all.


Your evaporator could be frozen or plugged. The evaporator is responsible for removing heat from the air as it passes through the A/C unit. If it's frozen, it can't remove the heat properly and the air will be warmer than it should be.

The last reason why your car's A/C might not be working properly is that there is a problem with the condenser. The condenser is responsible for cooling the refrigerant as it passes through the A/C unit. If it's not working properly, it can cause the air to not be as cool as it should be.
