    The wife has a 2011 Camry with about 120k miles. I am driving it for a few days. We live in the deep south so it is hot, but it is taking over 10 min for the AC to even begin blowing cool air on a sunny day. With the tropical storm Barry we have had a lot of cloud cover and rain and it only takes 30 seconds to a min to blow cool air.

    I have tried rolling down the windows and driving around to let the hot air out. I have the max AC engaged. I have the AC set to pull from the cabin air to cool.

    I check the coolant and it is full. The AC compression appears to be kicking on as you would expect.

    Any other thoughts? Anyone had this issue and found a fix or is it time to start replacing AC components?

    About to check there on lunch. Should have been changed not to long ago, but this is the first time I have had her car to verify that.

    Look down inside the hamster wheel blower motor, there could be an obstruction.
