Hi, I hope there are some smart folks with experience who can chime in. I cannot find any details on the GE or Embraco websites.

My GE Monogram ZISS480DRISS refrigerator is a 2008 model (R134a), installed by a contractor during our remodel in 2008. It was serviced in 2012 & 2015 with new inverter boards when they failed.
The compressor stopped again last week (August 2021) but everything else continued to work, fans lights, water dispenser, everything not directly associated with cooling.
I can't find a professional locally anymore (guess the pandemic shut many folks down) so I replaced the inverter myself with the newer black version that has the metal plate (WR49X10283).
The compressor back up and running and temps stabilized at 34F in FF, and 4F in FZ.
But my compressor is quite hot. When starting up after I replaced the inverter, interior at 77F, room temp @77F, the housing got up to around 160F after about 3 hours, now that it's stabilized, it's around 130F but varies from 125-150.
Looking back at my notes when it was replaced in 2015, I see I was getting 145-150 on the compressor housing back then, so maybe its always been very hot.
Sorry for the long question,I'm concerned about this temperature. The coils, fans, tubes are not dusty.
Is this a problem and do I need to investigate further?
Thank you
