Was working today then it suddenly went rather hot..
Is this the compressor dying out or does it just need regassing? |

Were you at WOT? If so, this is normal. If not, then it's unusual for it just to die, so I'd get a professional to look at it; might be as simple as the flux capacitor came loose or something.

i got mine fixed the other day, the problem was the switch that turns it from hot to cold was broken therefore still allowing the hot air to come through and not just cold air. mines cold as now, you can even see "smoke" or whatever coming from the vents now

Nah it was working fine then seems like the compressor just stopped and it blew through ambient temperature air. Wasn't WOT.
