Compressor won't kick on without minimize low side pressure

Hot on high side indicates compressor is compressing. If low side doesn't get cold, problem should be related to the orifice or the dryer.

One possibility: air in the system. Introduction of air will cause exactly the symptoms you describe

So: definitely need to know high and low pressure with compressor on and off to know the next step
It is probably the expansion valve.

Part number 64116981454 EXPANSION VALVE.

Since you probably don't have a recovery machine to recover the refrigerant that is in the system, you will need to take it in if this is the part that needs to be replaced.
