Hoping for help with my 240 Cabrio air conditioner. Pump runs and pumps water. Compressor runs. No cold air, in fact the air gets warmer with the compressor running.

Welcome
Most likely the unit needs Freon
Need to have it checked by HVAC Tech

Seems these are sealed systems with no easy way of adding Freon. The fact that it’s low, would also indicate a leak somewhere.
There like a refrigerator and can have fittings installed. Only way to know is get it tested

Any a/c guy can cut the freon pipe and weld /solder on a shraeder valve but I would look very hard at your setup as there probably IS a fitting somewhere. Charlie

Exactly and you can leave the " probably" out of the equation. The R-22 ( most boats use this because it's what homes use and is probably cheaper ) freon had to get into system to begin with and there is only one way that is done , through the schrader valve . Sometimes they are covered with a red and blue rubber cover , high and low side ,so two valves ,not just one .
