Q: A/c blows cold on max but when you change temp, the air gets warm.

asked by on March 04, 2017

When the front a/c is on 60 (max) a/c is very cold. Change the temp to 61 and it blows warm. Blower works fine, compressor kicks on, blend door operating normally, replaced water control cable (properly), and a full evac and recharge on a/c system.
