I believe the cause of the problem is that it needs cleaning. Gene.

If you can not see the light then the condenser is still blocked. Try to blow an air through the condenser. Make sure the condenser fan is working. Gene.

Thanks for your help and hope you can come up with a possible solution.

Thanks again Gene for your help and I appreciate it a lot.
