If you mean the compressor then yes it is on it's last legs. I would check it's rubber mount just to be sure they are OK. It may last a couple days, it may last a year or more but it is no longer reliable. To replace it will be an expensive repair as you need a pro. Internal parts of a compressor are not replaceable. Usually it makes more sense to put the dollars towards a new unit.
