Sounds like your system is frozen up. This happens when the refridgerant level is low, and for some reason the low pressure switch doesn't tell the compressor to shut off. Probably a bad low pressure switch, located on the accumulator or close to it (cylinder that you explained). I would recommend buying a new switch, accumulator, orifice tube, 3 cans of refridgerant, 8 oz of the proper type of oil, and a good flush solvent, and either get someone to service it or do it yourself. It's not all that hard to do, but if you have no idea about a/c work, you better get someone to help. Hope this helps.
