My condenser got replaced at the beginning of summer, it never blew as hard as it use to I always had it on max. Every now and then it would blow musty for a few minutes then go back to blowing cold. One morning I got in it and hit max A/C it blew real hard and then slowed down and i turned it off for a few minutes turned it back on but it didn't blow as hard and then it blew musty and cold again. Later in the day when I got back in it made a little noise when I turned it on blew very slow and cold for a few seconds and then stopped and started blowing warm. Tried again and it did same thing blew slow and cold for a few seconds and then warm. Tried heat and it blew a little. Next day it blows nothing now. A mechanic told me some hose was clogged but I don't know which one it would be! Please help!

It sounds as though your evaporator is freezing over, which will affect the volume of air coming out as well as the temperature. If the system was not put into a deep vacuum for several minutes after the condenser was replaced, moisture can freeze up in the lines and cause a restriction.
