Skoda Octavia Hybrid AC failure

Hoping someone can help. My 2021 Skoda Octavia hybrid's cooling system seems to have failed. The AC doesn't cool and won't even switch on. There's a warning light, and the error memory shows a refrigerant compressor failure. The car has 140418 km on it. Could the AC control unit be defective, as I suspect?

I had something similar happen with my Octavia, though it's an older model. The AC just quit. No cold air, and I think I had a warning light too. Did you check the refrigerant level? That's what I checked first, but it wasn't my problem.

Thanks for the quick answer! I checked the refrigerant level and it seems okay. How did you fix your AC? Was it also the AC control unit?

Yeah, mine was the AC control unit. It had the same symptoms, the AC issues just wouldn't go away. I'd suggest having a shop check it to be sure. They'll probably do some tests to confirm.

Just picked up the car from the shop. It was the AC control unit, like I thought. Cost me 980€, but at least the AC is working again. Thanks for the advice.
