Air-con failures
In my experience over three cars, the common fault is rarely the compressor per se, but its centifugal-clutch. It fails to kick-in. The real fix is a new unit, but....
Before changing, check this. Fixed with a 3 x cable-ties, to take up the wear, you're unlikely to need a compressor, gassing etc etc. It's fiddly but can be done. The cable-ties move the clutch-outer just enough forhte clutch to 'catch'. I have my 13YO boy mine... on all three cars. He's practiced at this by now and his hands are smaller.
There's Youtube vids by your mate and mine RobertDIY.
