Problem with the A/C

My A/C gave out about 2 days ago and I need some advice on it. Cool air still vents out to the rear but air does not come out of the front dashboard vents. My dad told me to replace the freon(?) but I didn't find any information about that in the manual or the internet. Any suggestions?

As the others said, final stage resistor. It is a very common thing to go bad.
