Why was it recharged? If it was due to it not working because it was empty, was a leak repaired or just charged? First thing would be to check and see if it is still charged using a pressure gauge set. If you attach the gauges and it reads zero then you have a leak.

Sometimes you can find a leak by looking along the lines and fittings as well as at the condenser core in the front and look for oil residue. If there is nothing seen then the next step would be to add a small charge then use a sniffer to detect the leaking area.
From there you would have a starting point.

Good morning,

Did you use a recharge kit form a parts store? If you did, hook it back up and see if there is a pressure reading on the gauge. That will tell you if you have pressure for the system to turn on. When the pressure gets too low, it will not turn on.

More likely it has a leak, that is why you start with a pressure reading. There are a lot of places that can leak.
