Hi arriola0380,

Seems the AC systm is overcooling causing frosting of the cooling coil and this would result in low air flow and non cold air to come out. Check the thermostat setting, could be a faulty thermostat or the location of the sensor is out of position.

Check for outside air leakage which would expedite the frosting condition.

Gnashing of the compressor could be due to high pressure in AC system, maybe ovefilling of gas. Check for loose belts or faulty crank pulley.
