If it was mine first thing I would do would be defrost by unplugging while was heating up frost melting pull it out and clean coils and fan. After the defrost plug it in monitor with infrared thermometer. If that didn’t work I would utube the problem see if their simple fix? It that don’t work call repairman.

Here’s one several on Utube.

It maybe as simple as that?

Some will as why defrost? Cause it could be ice build in blocking vents or doors. Besides defrosting and cleaning so won’t be embarrassing when repairman pulls it out and says should be cleaned every 6 months….
