Exclamation Running hot

I have a 2009 chevy hhr. A.C. stopped working and it's running hot. We replaced the thermostat. Still showing hot. Oil is ok. Can you help me.

I moved the post to a new thread.

Do you have disappearing coolant?

Is the coolant full?

Is the Check Engine Light on? If so, what are the codes?

And what exactly makes you think it is running hot? What is the reading on the digital temperature readout?

Has the coolant system been adequately maintained by replacing the Dexcool coolant prior to it's 5 year life span?

Oh, and what thermostat was installed? Is it the correct AC Delco 180 degree?

Is the engine fan running when you turn the AC on?

Who knows. The OP was a one time poster who hasn't come back to their own thread.
