So my wife comes home from grocery store today with goods for our downstairs Frigidaire freezer. Looks like the compressor stopped running. Luckily only 5-6 items were spoiled. Its surprising since its a simple unit about 15years old and clean.

Fan runs but not cooling. Compressor is hot to touch. Temp gauge has no effect on the compressor. Coil is clear and not frozen. DIY compressor replacement??

cleaned up a little mess and plugged it back in -- compressor kicked on with temp turned "lower/colder" to see if it cools.
Thanks
