Lexus IS AC Failure

Hey, my 2017 Lexus IS hybrid's AC has totally given up at 99317 km. It just doesn't cool, and the system doesn't even seem to switch on. I've checked the AC relay and fuses, but no luck. Anyone else had this? Could it be a refrigerant leak? It’s bloody hot!

I have a Lexus IS as well. I had similar symptoms last summer. Did you hear any unusual AC noise before it failed?

No unusual noise, I'm afraid. It just stopped. What caused your issue?

In my case, the defect was in individual valves in the AC system. I would strongly suggest visiting a qualified workshop.

Thanks for the tip! I took it to the shop, and you were spot on – valves in the AC. Ended up costing around 1000€ to repair. Appreciate the help!
