Warm air from the vents, a grinding or squealing noise, or a clutch that does not engage can mean a worn compressor. A low refrigerant charge, a slipping belt or a wiring fault can produce those signs too, so find the cause first. With the engine off and cool, look over the belt and the compressor body for oily residue.
