Note if compressor clutch is moving in a wavy manner, indicating a bad magnetic clutch.

Have you sprayed anything on the belt in the past? Have you tried a new belt since?

I had the same problem...its the belt....If it still is the original factory belt it is time to replace it...Start there...its a cheap easy fix and probably the issue
