Default A/c issues

I am having some trouble some A/c issues. It started to get on my nerves and i can't seem to figure it out. I'm not a A/c guru. I already recharge the A/c from work.

Anyway, whenever I use the A/c it would get cold just fine. After about 30-40 mins, it'll start to get warm again. I'll turn it off and wait at least 5 mins and turn on the A/c, it'll blow cold again. It does this sometimes on the highway as well.

Could a clogged water drain cause it to get warm again? Could it be some kind of switch?

Sounds like clogged lines along with a cycle/cutoff switch or a bad clutch.... way you have to evacuate, flush and refill the system to touch anything on the system....ac is a damn science lol...too damn expensive to screw with..I just did mine last summer for $450...

You are icing your coil up. Check your charge

Where would that be? Inside the a/c box?

Alright, It haven't been warming up again until today.

what does this tell me? As soon the air got warmed up, I pulled over to see if my A/C compressor is turning. It was not turning but my a/c fan is running. I got back inside and turned off the a/c and drove it for a little it and cut it back on. The air got cold again.
