Out of the blue, A/C is blowing hot air. The A/C compressor is engaged and turning. The A/C compressor discharge temperature is very hot (normal, I do not have a discharge gauge to measure the pressure). The A/C compressor suction side temperature is slightly above ambient temperature. Normally, the A/C compressor suction side temperature is cool to cold to touch when A/C blower is blowing cold air. For the pass three years I have had to add three to four ounces every two to four months. I added a full four ounce can of FJC stop leak, but that did not help.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Ken

It sounds like the system is low once again. I would find the leak and fix it because stop leaks rarely work.

Here is a guide to help you see if the system is low:
