Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Hi all,

Does anyone know how I can refresh my AC so it gets colder? What parts do I
need or can I use one of those AC pumps I see all the YouTube videos about.

Thank you!

First, check the refrigerant charge to make sure your system just needs a boost. You will need a refill bottle of refrigerant (preferably one with a pressure gauge attached). Attach the hose and take a reading. If low, add refrigerant to resolve your problem.

Got one with the pressure gage. Now I'm more so curious what type of refrigeration I need! I can only seem to find info from 1985 and on
