The air conditioning is not cold. They ran tests and said the front evaporator needed replacement and hose to rear evaporator was leaking. They replaced the front evaporator and blocked off the hose to the rear air evaporator to save cost. Air conditioning stopped working again. Repair shop now says that the Condenser needs replacing. They said that perhaps fixing the other issues put too much pressure on the Condenser and so it blew a hole.
