Car air conditioner blows cold air and then it blows warm air after about 10 minutes or so. Why is this?

The system holds a vacuum overnight. Then after I add Freon it blows cold air, but soon thereafter it blows warm air. Would a bad compressor cause this?

    You have a leak. You shouldn't be ABLE to add refrigerant often enough to notice. Until the leak is repaired, you can't even TEST anything else.

    Evaporator or expansion valve could be freezing due to excess moisture and air in the system. Get the system evacuated and vacuumed and put the correct amount of refrigerant. If the car uses an orifice, replace orifice.

    If the refrigerant weight in the system is accurate and the gauges read in specs, the expansion valve would be suspect.

    No. The condenser fan running all the time with the AC turned on?
