There are a number of reasons a refrigerator does not cool. Make sure that the condenser fins are clean. Is the passage from the freezer side blocked not letting the cold air enter? Has the thermostat been turned down? May be low on freon. This site may help you. https://www.familyhandyman.com/project/how-to-repair-a-refrigerator/

Magic Chef mcbr415s compressor is hot and its not cooling

It sounds like your Magic Chef refrigerator is experiencing a cooling issue. The fact that the compressor is running constantly and getting hot suggests that it is working overtime to try and cool the fridge, but it's not able to achieve the desired temperature.

First, check to see if the temperature controls are set correctly. If they are set too high, this can cause the compressor to run constantly. Additionally, make sure the fridge is not overfilled, as this can restrict air flow and prevent proper cooling.

If those checks don't resolve the issue, it's possible that the power outage may have caused damage to the compressor or other components. In this case, you may need to have a professional technician take a look at the fridge to diagnose and repair the problem.

Unfortunately, if you are unable to access the condenser coils, it may be difficult to troubleshoot the issue yourself. You may need to contact a technician for assistance

Ice build up in the freezer is usually caused by one of these problems. You may have an outside air leak from one of the door gaskets. Check the gaskets for proper seal and any cuts or pieces missing. Second possible problem may be your refrigerator is not self defrosting as it should. Cause of this could be a burned out defrost heater. With a bad defrost system, you normally will start to have your fresh food temps start to increase over time( about a week) and some food spoilage.

I found this. It might be worth a try. https://www.applianceblog.com/mainforums/threads/garage-heater-kit.21876/ ..

The oil in a refrigerator is contained in the coolant lines and they are sealed. No oil can leak out if the lines are intact. That has to be something else.

Hi, After cleaning out the machine, please double check that it's not attempting to cool any object that's extremely hot. Also, you might want to switch power outlets and test the cooling again. Then if still not working, you can use the troubleshooting section of the manual to help overcome the issue. Thank you.

Question edited for clarity. In my GE it is in the back of the freezer under the evaporator. This should help you though. https://www.fixya.com/support/t2558827-defrost_timer_magic_chef https://www.google.com/search?q=Magic+chef+HDVR1040B+defrost+timer+location ..

The most likely cause is damage to the control board caused by voltage spikes.

It sounds like the icemaker had a dead short and tripped the breaker. You would have to strip it down and check all the electrical components and look for water leaks onto electrics.
