Heat works great, AC doesn’t get cold. No noises in the fan and it blows hard.
Have the state of charge of the refrigerant checked.

To add to Tester’s reply, have it done by an independent mechanic that is qualified to work on AC, recommend you do not go to a chain like Pep Boys, Firestone, etc.

Thank you. I’ve heard that is the best plan.
Caveat, I had a similar problem with an older car, which I assumed would require the replacement of the compressor, etc. but my independent mechanic refused to work on it until the temperatures got over 50 degrees and he could get a good reading.
Instead of thousands of dollars for component replacements it cost a couple of hundred for diagnosis of a bad electrical connection.
My compressor clicks on/off when I use defrost. And it’s -2f today.

It could just be low on freon, after 22 years that would be expected. Happened to my 12 year old car. But have a pro diagnose and repair/refill it.
