Went to drive my car yesterday and I had no cool air, all hot(outside temp)
The AC was perfectly cold the day before and I haven't messed with anything in the engine bay/dash area.

-When you turn on the AC, you can hear the compressor "click" on, and the idle speed changes as usual.
-Both fans run on high speed when AC is engaged (like they should)

Any suggestions on things to check?

I was told that both the pulley and the face of the compressor should be spinning when the AC is on. The compressor face does not spin with the AC on. Does that mean the compressor itself is bad or could it be another issue like freon?
