sounds as if you have an ice buildup restricting the fan from moving airflow to the freezer. Inside the freezer take apart the lower shelf and see if this area is full of ice, if so clean it and defrost it.

There is a PTC relay on the compressor you need to replace it. Small black square looking device take the wire retainer clip off and pry off the relay. Get the wires going to relay noted and then get the model number and make of your unit. Go to a parts house for appliances and get a new one. About 25 bucks for that little dude but it is a needed for your compressor. Could get a 3 in 1 relay they are a lot cheaper and easy to install. let me know how it goes ken

Chances are, the compressor has locked up. You can try skeeter140's suggestion, but I doubt it will do any good.
Pull the relay off the compressor and shake it. If it rattles, then it's probably good. If it doesn't, go buy a new one as suggested.
Repair is not usually recommended.

Hi,
As the compressor ir running fine this problem is because the refrigerant may be evaporated little which may cause short cycling of the refrigerator.Please fill the system with some more gas and this problem you wont be having.
Thank You

If the compressor is running and there is no cooling then the gas (feron) may have leaked out. The only way out is to get the gas refilled.

Usually answered in minutes!
I have a new (still in the box) Haier Bar Fridge, 3.3 cu in. Thermostat turns on, compressor is working, but not cooling after 5-6 hrs. Have tried several times. If fridge has been tipped on its side, is this the problem? Can I do something before I take it back. Need help!
It's probably just low on refridgerant.
If it has a condensor coil, that could be dirty/clogged causing over heating and the compressor will cut off on internal overload.
If not coil, then it's low on refridgerant.
Is it worth fixing?
Well, a typical charge for installing an acces port for the guages, and recharging the unit would run you $175 to $250. If they tech has to vacume the system because it has lost ALL refridgerant and not just some, then add $75 to that.
To perform a leak check, and repair the leak, add a minimum of $125 to it.
So, it really depends on how much it would cost you to replace it. If you can replace it for $200 to $400. then I would replace it.
If it's a commercial unit and a new one would run $1,000 or more, I'd repair it.
