You have developed a refrigerant leak probably. With engine running and AC on Maximum does the AC line under the hood get cold? If it does you have a problem with the controls. If it isn't very cold you have a low PSI problem with the compressor. It wont take long to ruin the compressor with out coolant and the lubricant in it. You can pick up a can of refrigerant kit and refil the system if you wish to try. Wear PPE as it is dangerous to your eyes. Follow directions and make sure to hook up to the low psi side to recharge it. If not take it to your refrigeration man.

Welcome! I'm kinda new here also.
I just wanna say DO NOT add Refrigerant to the system Without knowing for sure that that's ur problem it can cause worse problems. It could still be a dirty condenser coil.
But if that's not the case then u should take it to be checked by a professional.

Is your clutch making a lot of racket in the compressor pump when you start it and the hose never gets cold and stays cold. I'm assuming your belt didn't break or is badly slipping on the pulley.
