A very common failure mode of AC systems in cars is the clutch affixed to the compressor. It turns the compressor on and off as needed and on your demand by using the AC. It would be great if the clutch were simple to replace on its own, but all of the sources we can find say that it is not usually cost effective.
Most of the time, if the clutch fails, you end up replacing the compressor completely. The reason for this is that time is money. The AC compressor and clutch assembly have to both come out to work on the clutch, and then both go back in. The time spent troubleshooting and trying to repair the clutch is not very different from the cost of the part. If you do fix the clutch, you will then be spending money to reinstall an old AC compressor. So shops often won’t make the attempt.
Although some new hybrids and EVs have a more modern heat pump design that runs electrically, most AC compressors in most cars are belt driven. The belt is called the “accessory belt” or “serpentine belt,” and it must spin in order for your car to work. If your AC compressor freezes, the belt can't spin freely, and this is a problem.
Although many of us would simply forego AC in an older car to avoid the repair bill, unfortunately, that is not always an option. If the compressor, its bearing, or the clutch mechanism are causing the pulley to be frozen, you must have it fixed. The belt drives other things you need to make the car run safely and smoothly.
