Dirty condenser coils. Blocked suction lines. Low refrigerant charge. Incorrect suction line size. Too much refrigerant. Electrical problems. Contaminants in the system. Insufficient oil lubricant.
Most likely, your air conditioning compressor is cooked or its pulley clutch has seized. Hopefully it was the pulley, because the compressor is not cheap.
A malfunctioning AC compressor could be caused by issues such as low refrigerant levels, electrical problems, or a worn-out compressor. To check if the AC compressor fuse is the cause of the issue, you can visually inspect the fuse for any signs of damage or use a multimeter to test for continuity.
It usually happens when the A/C system is low on gas, usually due to a leak or a broken component part.

Low or no freon will cause the AC not to work. Also if the clutch on the AC compressor has failed, or if the compressor itself failed.
A capacitor in an AC compressor system helps to store and release electrical energy to help start the compressor motor and keep it running smoothly.
Replace belt self tensioner, if applicable. Adjust belt tension. Replace belt. Have ac pressures checked. AC compressor may be failing.
No it will not.
AC Compressor
Besides fuses,there are relays that activate this compresorm most of them located under the hood; however, most of the compresors have a pressure control switch, if you have a small loss of refrigerant, eventually it is going to loose pressure an your compressor will not start to prevent compressor damage. Evacuate the system and refill with the correct amont of refrigerant.
Yes, if the compressor's bearings are bad, usually accompanied by a roaring or squealing noise coming from the compressor's pulley.
Check the clutch and see if it needs replaced; more then likely the compressor came apart on the inside and you'll have to replace it, flush the lines, and replace the orfice.
