Air conditioner stop working

Hello,

This sounds like the evaporator core is icing up which is normal for a system that is a little low on refrigerant. Here is a guide that will show you how to fix the problem:

Modern systems are very sensitive to R134A levels. That system takes 36 ounces for a full charge. From the initial description it sounds like it could be icing up however that can occur if the system is not cycling properly as well as if it was low on charge. Your system should cycle the compressor when the evaporator core is around 43 degrees. If the sensor is failing or the air over the core is not correct it can ice over.

However, you also mention that you drove for five minutes and it is not cold. It could easily take that long for a properly working system to cool down all the duct work and the housing to even start getting cold.
I would suggest having the system discharged and recharged to the correct level. That would eliminate that as a variable and let you start testing to see if there is actually something wrong.
