During AC service the technician checks if the coolant level is just right in the cooling or evaporator coils. When the level of coolant (Freon) is less than the required amount, the temperature of cooling coil drops much below the normal and your AC stops cooling.

    I thought my split AC had stopped working. I even thought of calling the customer care for servicing. And then I found this guide. The air filter was so dirty that the air could not pass. After cleaning the dust from the air filter, it worked perfectly as a new one. Thanks for this guide. You saved me a few thousand bucks.
