Default A/C on 93 accord blows out hot air

Does any one else have this problem? where would I start to diagnose? check for leaks? visually inspect the A/C condenser? check if the heater core valve is working correctly?

any input would be great. thanks!

I usually check to see if the AC compressor works first and that the lines are the correct temp to the touch. While this is happening, I also peek at the Heater Control Valve and make sure it works.

As I recall, the evaporator usually leaks on those things, not a fun job.

water valve stuck open or more likely A/C system has a leak that you will have to find and repair......

i had a similar problem in my 95 and in my case, the heater vents werent closing all the way when i turned my temperature ****. Im still trying to figure out a permanent fix, but when i got under the dashboard and manually closed the mechanism, cooler air came out.
