Refrigerant contaminated with air won't function properly.
Because air a non-condensing gas. Refrigerant is checked for all non-condensables including nitrogen, oxygen, etc. Refrigerant is also checked for contaminants during the recycling process. Once the non-condensables and contaminants are removed, the refrigerant is dried. Moisture can ruin a system as well as make it less efficient.

There is something wrong with the compressor or there is no refrigerant in the system. Have it checked out. Goodluck Joe
This is not a Do-It-Yourself job. Because refrigerant is very dangerous to handle - you could suffocate yourself or someone else in the room - you need to have the right tools and test equipment and must have been trained so that you know what you are doing. Any air conditioning unit that has developed a fault must be thoroughly checked by an expert to ensure that a) it is running safely and b) there are no leaks of refrigerant. Call a Licensed Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) Technician.
The most common problem is low refrigerant. have that checked first.
A window air conditioner can freeze up due to low refrigerant levels, dirty air filters, or blocked airflow. To prevent this, regularly clean or replace air filters, ensure proper airflow around the unit, and have the refrigerant levels checked by a professional if needed.
Yes, you can carry an air gun in your checked baggage, but it must be declared to the airline and meet specific guidelines for transportation.
Many AC controls will act like that when you are out of refrigerant. Have the refrigerant level checked. If you have a very slow leak, it might be easier to just add refrigerant every year. If the leak is very substantial, it might be better to have it repaired.
Refrigerant is stored in the compressor of an air conditioner.
You must have air in the system. Get your brakes checked ASAP !
No, you cannot recharge a window air conditioner with refrigerant yourself. It requires a professional technician to properly recharge the refrigerant in an air conditioner.
Air conditioning works by having the refrigerant undergo changes of state of the refrigerant between a liquid and a vapor, and also through heat exchanges, where heat is absorbed by the refrigerant, and is then exchanged to the ambient air both in the condenser and evaporator. In order for the heat absorbed by the refrigerant to be able to be exchanged to the ambient air, the temperature of the refrigerant must be significantly higher than that of the ambient air. Compressing the refrigerant into a high pressure vapor (which the compressor does) increases the heat of the refrigerant, as, when under high pressure, the molecules rub together more frequently, thus generating additional heat to the heat already absorbed by the refrigerant. This facilitates the heat transfer necessary for the proper performance of an air conditioning system.
