Woke up today to find the fridge a tad warm inside - like 15c. Checked the freezer section and that's thawing out too. Every 30 seconds or so there's a click from down below which I surmised was the cutout on the compressor. Pulled it out and had a look underneath and the compressor is too hot to touch. I'm guessing it's seized.
Other than switch it off and see what happens when it cools down (in progress at the moment) is there anything else worth checking? A quick google suggests it's probably terminal though.
Can compressor bearings be fixed without losing all the coolant? Are they even accessible or will it be a sealed unit you can't get into easily? I might have a firkle around inside if it's possible to strip it down.
