Hi CARMEN,

Okay, it sounds like the system is having a problem, here is what it could be, first the orifice tube is plugged not allowing the refrigerant to circulate in the system, next you have a radiator cooling fan that is not working.

Here is a guide that can shed some light on the subject.

Please let me know what you find

Best, Ken
