Epica AC Failure

My 2011 Chevrolet Epica diesel's AC has completely stopped working. It doesn't switch on, and isn't cooling at all. The car has 227889 km. Any thoughts? Could it be more than just a fuse?

Summary of the thread

The 2011 Chevrolet Epica diesel's AC failure is characterized by it not switching on or cooling. While a fuse issue is considered, other potential causes include a faulty pressure switch or defective valves. Testing the pressure switch requires specific tools, and valve issues might necessitate professional repair. Seeking assistance from a workshop is suggested for a definitive solution.

I had a similar problem with my Epica. The AC just packed it in. Did you check the pressure switch? Is the compressor even trying to kick in? I am just so frustrated that the AC maintenance is so poor!

Pressure switch... hmm, I haven't checked that specifically. How would I test it? Is it easily accessible? Is it possible that defect valves are the issue?

Testing the pressure switch can be a bit tricky without the right tools. Honestly, based on what you're saying, it really does sound like a valve issue, like what happened to mine. I ended up biting the bullet and taking it to a workshop. Cost me around 1000€, but at least it's fixed. I'm so annoyed it happened though!
