Why is the a/c blowing warm air a day after filling it with freon?

Couldn't find a leak so we used the dye with the freon less than an hour later hot air and no leak anywhere.

SOURCE: My air blows hot

Got to your auto parts store and get a can of R-134a refrigerant with the filling cable, but make sure it's the version that has the red dye in it. Run your car with the A/C and add the canister to the low pressure side of the A/C hookups. The dye will show you the leak, but it may not be in the engine compartment, it may be at the heat exchanger inside the dash, which is difficult to access.

SOURCE: 2002 yukon ac blows hot

he may not have checked the evaporator core which is under the dash. you can take off the black cover in the passengers floorboard. should be two 7mm screws then there is a long thin black piece that unlatches revealing the cabin filter. remove the cabin filter and look for signs of a leak if he put leak dye in it. or look for oily residue.

My service station did a partial AC charge because it was blowing hot air, 4 days later I noticed a pool of coolant on the driveway and the AC is blowing warm air again.

Clearly you have a leak inspect your ac compressor and hoses if you cant find it i suggest use die and trace to leak as you know ac system need to be seal 100 percent in order the function i asume you have lose nuts or crack on your hoses its easy fix.

Undefind Freon leak

that is a very fast leak. try using UV dye leak detector. color of this dye is bright green and will be show at the leak source. a UV light is also helpful so you can see it better. you can buy this at any auto parts with freon mixed with it, with this leak you should see oily trace at the leak area, don't forget to recharge compressor oil after your repair.

What's your problem?I have a 1996 Chevrolet Suburban. The AC is blowing out hot air. I have had the truck for 6 years, every Summer its the same thing. The ac does not get cold, I take it to the m

To clarify - - if the truck has rear and heat, you have two heater cores and two evaporator cores. The evap cores carry the freon.
If the leak is in the evap core in the front, the price is probably right.

I have a 1999 323i BMW. The AC doesnt blow cold (on cool days it blows cool temperature but not common A/C Cold Air, Hot Days it blows Warm/Hot Air). The heater blows warm air but definitely not common...

First things first.....You must have the air conditioning system hooked up to an a/c system machine and then checked for leaks and also read low and high side pressures. If there are leaks then low Freon (R134a) content and low refrigerant oil can cause the a/c system to not engage the a/c compressor which basically means you will not have proper defrost functionality nor regular air conditioning. Most shops, when working with your air conditioning, will install air conditioning dye to assist them in locating leaks and is the first step in diagnosing all a/c systems. Post the findings after thw

My 99 dodge durango's a/c is blowing out hot air, put in coolant didn't work, put in freon it seemed like it was getting a little cooler but still warm, turned air off next day it was back to hot air...

Most likely cause is a leak in the AC system. Adding refrigerant alone won't cure your problem. Get a can of R-134A with leak detector in it. It has a UV dye that will glow wherever the system is leaking. Best of luck.

1995 Chevy Suburban blows cold once charged then hours later hot

Its a leak ...probably concealed like in an evap housing or rear air unit and lines (if it has that). Prob at this juncture I would remove all the freon and bring system into a vaccuum with a pump and see if it will hold vaccum for an extended period of time. A bad leak will not hold srong vacuum very long and much cheaper than wasting expensive and enviromental un0friendly refrigerants.

97 Olds Aurora AC blowing warm air a day after recharging system

Several- The system should hold freon for years without leaking. There are pressure switches and they cut off the compressor with an undercharge and an overcharge. You need guages to measure the charge. There are testers the A/C shops have called "sniffers" which can detect a leak. If you have no leak then you need a technician to add or remove freon to get the concentration right. Or you need guages.

1999 Chevy Cavalier A/C blows hot air

More likely the recharge blew a o-ring and you have a leak. When your Cavalier was blowing hot air and a recharge fixed it that means it was low on freon which lets o-rings dry out, go back to the shop and have them leak test it. They use a pressurized dye to find the problem. If it's blowing it's not the cooling fan relay, they may have meant compressor relay but I'd have a leak test done first it's not expensive and easier that chasing unknown possibilities.
