Weirdest AC (lemmy.world)

So I had a weird issue with my AC that I don’t even know how to begin googling. My air conditioner was running perfect for three years then all of a sudden started to go in and out one day. The airflow remained a constant though. At first I thought it was just too hot outside, but realized that wasn’t the case because it was just as hot a day ago. I then took out the cabin air filler, cleaned it, and ran it without the filter for like 30 minutes. It kept me cool the whole time. I put the filter back in, and it ran fine for another 2 days until now. I’m not flush with cash, what could I try as a quick fix? Any advice helps

Best start would be to put UV dye in the system (a bottle of its cheap) run the system for a while, and then break out the black light, and check every AC line. Chances are you’ll find a leak.
