A friend of mine has the above listed unit and it worked fine for years until a few days ago when he relocated it to a different facility.
Shortly after the relocation, he plugged the unit in and it worked as usual for 2 days actually getting down to the set temperatures and then it quit cooling altogether. He blew off the coils/motor, etc. and re-plugged the unit back in with the same ole results.
I looked at it and the fan is definitely working, the display is working, and it appears the compressor is running but the unit does not cool.
Any recommendations on what may be the problem/what to do to troubleshoot the unit would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

Check the compressor in the back, should be warm and vibrating.

It appears to be functioning Rich.

If the compressor is warm and vibrating, you either have a clogged capillary line, or a bad refrigerant leak/bad compressor.
