The condenser is primarily responsible for ensuring cool air from the AC vents. ... If the condenser has gone bad, it will not be able to process the freon and produce cool air. A broken condenser might malfunction when there is a cut back in power as when the car is idling or running the AC purely on the battery.

Why does AC only work when car is moving?
When the car is moving, versus stopped, there is more air flow over the condenser (the heat exchanger in front of the radiator) and that airflow is essential to system operation. ... Other possibilities are that the compressor clutch is not cycling as intended or that the condenser might be blocked or dirty.
Why does my AC get warm at idle?
Your AC system is low on refrigerant. Since the AC compressor is driven by the engine, it doesn't pump as much refrigerant when you're at a stop or driving slowly. If the system is low on refrigerant, it will show up as AC blows warm at idle and blows colder when the engine is running at higher RPMs.
Why does my AC stop blowing cold air when I stop?
The typical AC system has two sets of coils—condenser coils, which are located in the outside compressor unit and evaporator coils, which are encased near the indoor blower unit. When either set of coils becomes dirty or covered with mold and debris, cold air output can suffer.
