Compressor failure, gas leak or just needs re-gassing I would suggest.

Either way sounds like it needs checking by a specialist.

rsims193141,

Is it a temperature or an aircon issue?

For example, if you have the aircon off, can the temperature be changed from Hot to "Cold" (which will equal ambient temp if the aircon is off)?

And again, with the aircon turned on, is aircon working ie actually drying the air even though the temp can not be turned to cold? (Aircon doesn't = cold, it means dryed air, which can be either hot or cold).

Check to see if the heater valve mounted by the bulkhead is actually closing and opening as you get someone to change the temperature. The problem could just be a jammed or defective valve.
