There are many reasons why an air conditioning unit does not work well: its temperature control may be set too high; it may have lost all its refrigerant because of a leak in the system; its compressor pump may have stopped working; etc...

If you cannot see anything obviously "set wrong" the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) technician to advise you and/or fix it for you.

How to recharge Camry air conditioner?

well you have to find the low ac pressure point which is located near the wall by the engine on the passenger side. just purchase some freon along with a pump and you can recharge your air conditioning. You cannot buy Freon! Freon is the registered trademark of DuPont's R-12 refrigerant-which is Dichlorodifluoromethane. You can buy R 134-A which is tetrafluoroethane. The term "Freon" is incorrectly used by people who think they know A/C theory.
