Hi,

If it is still providing some cool air, chances are the system is low on Freon. Have you checked the A/C high and low pressures? That will tell if it's low.

Take a look through these two links. The first covers the most common causes of the system not working. The second explains how to recharge the system at home.

Let me know what you find and what I can do to help.

Take care,

Joe
