    I had my frame replaced last week and when I turned on my AC it didn't come on until it had been on for 10 minutes. It is on now but it doesn't seem to be running like it did when it would absolutely freeze me out. Here is what is doing now that it wasn't before the frame swap. When I turn it on it seems to take a few minutes to get cold when before it seemed to be cold from the get go. When the compressor cycles off the air coming out of the vent warms up but isn't like hot. I don't remember it doing that before. The air coming out always felt cold nonstop.

    When I had my frame replaced I believe the freon was recharged since I think they had to open ac system in doing the frame replacement. So I assume a vacuum was performed and Recharged to specs. Mine was fine when returned. Go back and have them check it. I think my parts list of what was Done showed that on invoice. There was no charge for this. Good luck

    They probably under-charged it by accident or it has a leak
