Welcome to the forum..
What year is your vehicle? engine size?
did you replace the fuse because it was bad? which fuse?
Some items to check are that the cooling fan for the engine is coming on when the AC is on.
Have the AC charged checked at a reputable shop
The thermostat for the engine needs to be operating correctly, if the engine over heats it will also cause the AC to stop working correctly..

What year is your vehicle? Chevy Cobalt LT 2007
engine size? 2.2L 4-Cyl
did you replace the fuse because it was bad? which fuse? yep and it is A/C clutch's fuse
Have the AC charged checked at a reputable shop - well, my father did check my car's refrigerant level and it's normal.
The thermostat for the engine needs to be operating correctly, if the engine over heats it will also cause the AC to stop working correctly..how I can check that?

You can look at it, if the pully is freewheeling then it isn't engaged, if the end is turning, then it is.

If the fuse was blown once and now you feel a lot of vibration, I suspect there may be an issue with the compressor, I would advise you take it to a professional AC service for check out and inspection...
