check your ac freon level. if there no enough freon the compressor turns it self off. if the freon level is okay then its probably a bad AC compressor. those compressors go bad usually in like 8 years or so

If the compressor is locking up then you need a new one along with other various parts since your system is probably contaminated with metal debris now.
