Default A/C not working

My A/C was working great but now blows only warm air. No HVAC codes are showing. Blower speed responds to changes in set temperatures but still blows only warm air. When I switch the A/C off and on I can hear the A/C clutch cycle. Any idea what might be wrong?

Sometimes the cause of the problem is just too obvious. Noticed that the A/C compressor belt was broken as I was getting ready to attach A/C manifold gauges to check system pressures.

Not sure if you fixed this or not, but make sure the ambient temp is correct inside the car. If it thinks it's below 35 degrees or so, it won't let the A/C come on. Mine was reading about 50 degrees too low last year and I had to get that replaced. $8ish part, $120 labor.

Sometimes you think it's broke but is actually an easy fix. If you want cold air, say you have it set for 70 degrees and its 67 degrees out, it will blow warm air. Don't ask me how I know this
