Default A/C blows hot, clutch engages & has charge

Hi Folks,

I'm hoping there is a flow diverter or other issue that might be user serviceable.

The a/c compressor clutch engages, the a/c system is charged according to the gauge on the can of freon I bought to recarge it with - ended up not needing filled at all.

There aren't any weird noises coming from the compressor.

The air just blows at ambient temperature, not cold at all. My wife drives this car, and reported that it would be cold sometimes and not others and finally just settled on never being cold.

Thank you for any thoughts you have. - Jon

What year and engine?

If it's a 08-15 with the 6 cyl engine - you might have a bad variable displacement valve in your compressor.
