Welcome in Don! :)
If the compressor isn't kicking in you've got low refrigerant pressure. There may be a fault with the pressure switch (although unlikely); the most common fault is corrosion on the condensor causing a leak. Get it pressure tested for starters, unfortunately they all seem to suffer from condensor rot after about 8 years.
