(Flame On) Your symptom is exactly like other recent posts just in the past week. Feel free to read. There is also a great Search feature on this site. (Flame Off)

Well the cause is because there is no air flowing through the condenser. When the A/C is on, the clutch fan is designed to stay on. Pop your hood and make sure that puppy is spinning a good deal. Also check for leaves or anything that could block airflow.

Could be the temp blend door or actuator too,.
