    Hi Colin,

    Probably a refrigerant system fault but it’s hard to be 100{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} on it and most commercial appliances are alien to us.

    Hi

    If the compressor is getting hot then if it’s a r134a system then it would normally be due to a restriction or the compressor has failed and dependent on age and how long its been running like this end up needing a new compressor. How big is the unit ? and where ?

    The commpresor unit is at the bottom and about 200mm in diameter.

    If it’s double door there could be a condenser/cooling fan problem underneath cabinet,they get blocked with dust or fan motor fails.Single door would have the condenser at the rear depending on which make.
    If thats clear then likely compressor or thermostat or refrigerant loss.
