It could be undercharged. An undercharge gets the evaporator vapor pressure
down to where it cools less efficiently but to a colder temp. Hook up your
gauges and see what the low pressure equivalent temp is. It should NOT be
below about 34°F/2°C. You may be able to keep it from icing by always
running the fan on high, but you have to do that as soon as you turn the
AC on.
