You have to go in for air conditioning service...as this one has a filter/dryer that removes water from the freon stream....also a proportioning valve...these things need to get looked at and the "sight glass" should not have bubbles in it...get some a/c service...have the charge looked at undercharge causes icing....do you hear the compressor engage when you select it?~

Hi Petr it turned out to Be as simple as a broken wire that needed to Be replaced. You probably need an electrician to find it though, if your car has the same problem as mine. Sorry for the late answer.
