That is usually an indicator that you are low on refrigerant. Have the system checked for proper charge. If low then you need to check for a leak.

Look at the condenser for green residue. If present replace the condenser. Check all lines and spray soapy water to service valves to check for leaks. If all is okay and you keep losing refrigerant then suspect a leaking evaporator. That repair would require removing the dashboard.
