Is it okay now?

Don't run the AC on max without the fan on in either of the top two speed positions.

If it unfroze (which it will when you turn off the D) then you need to add freon. While you can add a can to see if that helps, if it needs more than that, go have it refilled professionally.

HTH,

if your rear is working and your front is not then you have a dash issue, its not allowing the airflow valve to switch correctly..

Wouldn't the valve had shown up during a routine recharge?

Glad you got it fixed!
