Fan is working, and I have moved the temp gauge from very cold to mid cold. Still nothing. Coils in back are clean. I don't think it's a leak in the system because yesterday it was freezing just fine. This all just started overnight. Could it be the compressor??

The easiest way to check is to remove the relay from the compressor, and shake it, if it rattles you need a new relay.
