Yes replace it using a qualified technician remember the ozone
Could be a loose belt, bad bearing in the compressor, malfunctioning clutch, lack of compressor oil... any of those things.
the Clutch is not fully disengaged. compressor might need to be replaced. I would bring it to the shop. Look at the Compressor and if u notice shavings then it has done its duty. If you do not want the AC anymore and want a cheap fix. Just go to a AC shop and get them to remove the clutch. the Clutch is not fully disengaged. compressor might need to be replaced.

Yes, if the compressor's bearings are bad, usually accompanied by a roaring or squealing noise coming from the compressor's pulley.
replace the whole thing. you can do a new one or get one from a junk yard
The clutch assemble is shot...
Any of the following.......... 1. The compressor is locking up. 2. You have a bad a/c clutch. 3. You have a bad drive belt. 4. You have a bad tensioner. 5. The a/c system is overcharged.
When an AC compressor is failing on a 2001 Lincoln LS, it may produce a variety of noises, including a loud grinding, rattling, or squealing sound. These noises can indicate that internal components are worn or damaged, such as bearings or the clutch. Additionally, a hissing sound might occur if there is a refrigerant leak. If you notice these sounds, it's advisable to have the compressor inspected or replaced promptly to avoid further damage.
If the clutch disengages properly then the compressor should not be running. Most likely the clutch itself is bad instead of the compressor.
The AC clutch is on the front of the compressor where the belt rides. When power is applied to the clutch it engages to turn the compressor. It is basically a magnet a/c compressor clutch is the ound thing on the front of the compressor with pulley wheel attached. this clutch is an electro magnetic clutch that when electricity is supplied, engages so as the a/c compressor is driven ,which can then pump freon thru the ac system
The ac compressor clutch is mounted on the front of the compressor and is a replaceable part. However depending on the complexity of the clutch change out it may be overall better to change the compressor and clutch together.
Your compressor is going out. Probably you threw a piston in the compressor or the bearings in your clutch went out. If you put freon in before this happened you overfilled it and blew the seals.
the squeeling noise is from the fan belt either the belt needs renewing, or the a/c compressor clutch is not operating correctly
