I had my AC serviced this week, it needed recharging, a tiny tiny leak but it has sat unused for 9 months so probably not unusual.

But when I run the AC, it only cools the air to 60f as compared to the air being 76f when off coming through the vents. This is not cool at all, and ambient air temperature is 21c with high humidity.

But when I run the AC, it only cools the air to only 60f -53f as compared to the air being 76f when off. This is not cool at all, and ambient air temperature is 72f with high humidity

The blower is working fine, and I removed the stepper motor, as it is broken, and the flap is shut allowing cold air only through the system. I will fix that later. The box seems pretty well sealed.

Could the evaporator be poorly performing the heat transfer from the air? Could the expansion valve be faulty?

Any ideas?

I replaced the receiver dryer, and the AC expansion valve. The valve was bad.

Removing & replacing the drier was a pain! But all good now
