Default a/c not cooling

have a 95 f22b1

as of late in the warmer weather, a/c just is not cooling enough to keep it cool.

i bought a recharge kit, but the gauge shows the system is full.

is there a way to drain and recharge? could that be the prob? it defogs perfectly, just doesnt keep up with the heat.

You may want to pull back the radiator and lightly spray the a/c condenser with water to remove any dirt buildup.

The only way to know how your a/c is performing is to do a pressure test on the high and low pressure side using an a/c manifold.

You can also observe the clutch plate to see if it keeps spinning with the a/c pulley while the engine is running.

Check the blend door, adjust to be sure it (and the heater control valve) are closing all the way....I check/adjust mine, 10 min tops, about every spring.
