AC making this noise and not blowing cold after belt replacement

The only error code that came up was 21 which I’ve seen mentioned as the solar sensor and not much to worry about. However, the AC is only blowing hot air and is now making a noise as if something is caught in a fan. The sound is most audible when the glove compartment is out and I’m staring at where the cabin air filter is inserted. It was not making this sound before the AC belt was replaced at the dealership (see other thread). I’m not well versed on AC systems, does anyone know what might be causing this sound? I attempted to attach a video but the site told me it has an improper file extension (.mov).

Thank you for your input!

 

Thank you for the reply! I have done that and haven’t found anything in there. The air filter itself was just replaced last week.

 

What I’m observing is that it appears to be running normally when I start the car, but then it simply stops though the AC is still turned on.

 

They replaced the hybrid battery and the water pump. To be clear, it is not blowing cold air at all. The Maintenance required light did just start coming on at ignition. I just picked up the car from them two days ago and have only driven it today. When I picked it up it was blowing hot air. The diagnostics from another dealership and from them said that there were no leaks in the AC system- their explanation was that one must have sprung up in unfortunate timing after the diagnostics. They said that they did find one and would run $2k. I asked to speak to a manager who changed the story, saying that they didn’t find a leak but found dye in the system that showed someone had been looking for a leak at some point. They recharged the AC and it worked for two days. The noise however is new. I can’t help but believe that they are responsible.

 

Yes, you are correct, they said AC belt and it stuck in my head. I just double checked the invoice and it is quoted as the drive belt.

 

They ended up saying that they didn’t find a leak. If it is, I do not know.

 

I will check that out, thank you! Do you know if that would stop the drive belt from working?

 

It runs when I start the car and then stops a moment later.

 

Yes. That is exactly what I am saying.

Since this was just replaced, am I right to assume that it is an error on the part of the service center? What other damage can this cause?
