Default 03' Dreamcruiser A/C Problem

Hello everyone. I have an 03' Dreamcruiser #0518 and it is having an A/C problem. The fan blower works, but it does not get cold. I also noticed that the compressor is not working. Usually when I have the A/C on, I can hear the compressor make some noise under the hood, and I can feel the additional load on the engine . But now, both the noise and the load is gone.

I already checked the HVAC fuse and it is still ok. Any input will be appreciated.

Sounds like the refrigerant is gone. At least on some older vehicles I've had, if the refrigerant has leaked too far, some kind of a switch/sensor dis-engages the compressor. Had the exact same thing on my old AMC Eagle. After the system was recharged it all worked great. Good luck!

Sounds like the fan motor is shot!!! Wouldn't be the first time.
