Hi Steve,

I have exactly the same problem, and had the aircon system re gassed.
Worked perfectly for 9 months but now not working.

I have been told it is due to a very very slow leak, which cannot be detected, so I either need
to re gas every 9 months or forget it.

I suggest you re gas as it may be fine for many years, or if you have a bad leak it would be
detected.

Good luck
