Freezer not freezing

Model Number: MFU21M3GW1 Brand: Frigidaire Age: 5 - 10 years

Appliance Parts from AppliancePartPros.com

My freezer was just fine 2 days ago. It all of sudden stopped freezing. I recharged the system with the 134a refrigerant like the inside of the freezer said to use and it is not freezing. The motor runs I can hear it, but the sides do not get warm and it is not freezing. The motor is VERY HOT to the touch so I turned the unit off. I so need to fix this. I have food in coolers right now

If the compressor is hot, you may have a capillary line clog, a repair for a fridg repair pro. Low current draw and hot compressor are the symtoms.
