The problem might be a bad expansion valve.

The expansion valve regulates the amount of refrigerant that enters the evaporator. If the expansion valve fails to the properly adjust to compensate for when the compressor slows down, the pressure drop into the evaporator will be incorrect, and the AC stops cooling.
