I have one of those side kick refrigerator only models which is acting up. It runs cool for awhile at 38-40 then warms to 50-55 then comes back down. Compressor is hot to touch. Coils { which are on botton } are clean. I took relay off compressor once about a week ago and shook it around. It made no noise, but then the unit started cooling down after I put it back on. Any help would be appreciated. Paul

Paul,

Sounds like there is a problem with the sealed system. In order to figure out exactly what is wrong, the pressure in the system and the current drawn by the compressor have to be tested. It's better to call a pro to do it for you.
