Default AC Help!

Hey guys. I hadn't ran my AC since December until today to find out it is still blowing stong, but only hot air. Since December, I only ran the fan a few times but never more than that. Did lack of use freeze it up or what? Can I get it running again myself? Any opinions?

Thanks...

This thread has been addressed in many other areas of the site, and very recently at that....anyway, get a guage set on the AC ports, start the engine at a fast idle, engage Max AC and see what the operating pressures are.....low side cycling ~27psi to ~47psi, clutch cycling on and off, high side running near 200psi, accumulator/dryer cold to the touch.

If all these conditions are extant, then there is a problem with the blend door in the air handling system under the dash.
