The compressor is more "hot" than warm, but is running....There is frost on the evap coils, but melt away during the defrost cycle(s)....I did change out the thermostat as it was a cheap first step...(Of course it changed nothing !!)...

Look in the back if the condensing fan is turning. If ok and the condenser behind the front kick panel is not clogged, you probably have a bad compressor.
