The problem you might have with your condenser can be simple all the way to needing a full replacement.

One of the things that has to be able to happen when you use your AC unit is the refrigerant has to be used. It has to be heated up so that the refrigerant is able to move. Then it will remove the heat from the house and let the house be cooled down. The problem is that the refrigerant has to then be cooled and that is where the expansion valve comes into play. The valve is the part of the unit that has to do that job. If the valve does not do its job it will prevent the home from cooling down. You want to call an AC repairmen to determine if this is the problem.
