If the compressor is definitely running and it's worm to a touch but the evaporator not frosting over - there is the sealed system problem: no freon, restriction, compressor. Any of this will be $$. Call the service co. Thank you. Simon.

Being on the back allows the oil from the compressor to escape into system and when you turned it on - the oil blocks the capillary tube. That called a restriction. This problem is not going to go away by itself. Simon.
