69....hard to know from here. What heats up and becomes quite humid? Newly restarted refrigerators take about 12-24 hours to cool down. They should be opened very infrequently during that period, if possible.. Do you hear the compressor and fans? Have you properly set the cooling controls?
The compressor should be cycling on and off according to temperature...about 15 minutes per hour...and there should be cooling. First, clean the condenser coils in the bottom of the unit. Then, turn the unit on after resting for an hour or so. The largest pipe on the compressor should get frosty and then either turn to liquid water, ice or dry out after about 5 minutes...not less. Stays frosty...needs gas. Short cycle...get a service tech in. You may need a motor start relay.
