Air Conditioning help

Hi all I have a 2003 and the AC is not working. I am out of warranty so maybe someone has a idea on something I missed . No cold air. The freon is good to pressure as per the specification. The control seems to work lever on full. The Ac clutch is working and the fans are coming on. So any clue. Please it is so hot.

If the compressor is going on then I would first put in a can of Freon. I found that most of the Minis I have dealt with were charged at the low end of the spec and can benefit from a "boost".

Hopefully it is nothing more than that as the compressor is an expensive part as is the condenser, dryer or evaporator.

You are sure the clutch is engaging? My 2003 AC clutch went at the height of the heat last month.
