Random airconditioning cut-out problem - restart fix 850 1994

Hi all

I swear I've checked through the previous posts about airconditioning problems and I can't find a similar problem (or I could be wrong)

Now, my airconditioning cuts out every now and then. It might not happen for months at a time. I used to think it was a hot weather only problem but yesterday wasn't warm. I used to think it was a high speed setting thing but it was only at the middle yesterday.

Whilst not cutting out the power completely, some weeks ago, when I set the fan speed higher, all electricals cut out for a very brief moment and then came back on as per normal. This had never happened before.

When the airconditioning does cut out, it doesn't come back on at all, until I stop the car and restart the engine. That invariably fixes it.

Any clues on what can be wrong?

The freon level 'should' be fine since I just got it topped up in December.

Thanks in advance of answers!

Regards
Lucast
