The air conditioning light blinks - when this occurs, the a/c gets warmer - if I push the button off and on again, the a/c light stays steady and the a/c works - the compressor seems to kick on and off as is should - the manual doesn't address it - a filter? freon?

    Try replacing the magnetic clutch relay. It's something you can do yourself. Before replacing you can try bouncing it on a carpeted floor (this worked for me - really).
