The AC suddenly started blowing hot air and yet the refrigerant is fine. It isn't low at all. The problem is that the clutch plate stopped engaging and when I went to have an estimate done it was $3000 to fix because the r134a has to be reclaimed and the compressor/clutch assembly replaced, as no one will replace the clutch plate and the labor to do so (which is ridiculous). So either I have to pull a used assembly and fix it myself with risk of not reclaiming the refrigerant properly, or just deal with the Florida heat and die of heat stroke. Sheesh...
