Most likely you have a blockage in the system. Usually the accumulator or the orifice tube. If you do have a blockage the system will need to be flushed out and the cause of the debris found. If the system has been leaking the accumulator may be saturated with moisture. Or possibly the compressor is failing and bits of metal have plugged up the very fine screen of the orifice tube. Hope that helps! Jim
