A/C accumulator is warm

My accumulator for my A/C gets warm when I turn on the system and the car now blows warm air. I know that thing is supposed to get cold and develop condensation on it... anyone have any problem like this?

Re: A/C accumulator is warm

you need to slap some gauges on the A/C system, its probably low on freon from a leak

Re: A/C accumulator is warm

Is the compressor running? Low charge will cause the cutout to diable the compressor from the low pressure.
