Hi. The problem your described is an indicator that the coolant fan for the condenser is not working properly. If the fans are working properly, I suggest having the refrigerant pressure check by an EPA certified technician. If you need further assistance, I recommend you have a mechanic, like one from YourMechanic, replace the bad condenser fan to eliminate further complications with your vehicle.
