whitew01ws6,

Please clean the condensor and make sure there's also no debris clogged the front of the radiator while your at it, **** can work its way onto the front surface of that too.

Let us know how it helped.

+1 for clogged condenser, seen it many times, you can also clean it with a mild detergent soapy water and compressed air. I see alot of them being the ony a/c tech for 40 miles in a farming area
