I work with glycol chillers at my job, and just guessing here, but it kind of sounds like a pump or compressor issue. It's either cavitating or unable to prime due to an air bubble or lack of enough fluid, or maybe a bad or faulty pump?
Is there any way for your to bleed refrigerant through the lines? Or would that void your warranty and/or make you uncomfortable?
It's probably way easier than that, though, and even more likely not that.
One time we found a Snickers bar wrapper in our line. That fixed the problem!

The Freon can show that it's full but you've likely got air in the system and the freon isn't effective. It likely just needs a recharge, meaning, all the old freon + air taken out, and new freon minus the air put back in. If that doesn't work then it's likely a compressor issue.
Apparently it was a stuck valve. Dude fixed it and I'm sitting comfortably at 74°. :-)
Oh nice, that's an easy fix.
Nice! I love the easy fixes.
