Compressors do get hot, as long as the fridge is working correctly this is nothing to worry about

Maytag fridge not cooling

If the ref or freezer is too warm and you turn the dial to make it colder the compressor should come on. If the ref or freezer is not cold like you say the compressor should be on all the time. You should hear it, but you can definitely feel it and it should be very warm after a short while.
If the compressor does not get warm unplug the ref with the compressor running and plug it back in immediately. A good compressor should not start up right away.
If it is running and not getting warm and does start right up after unplugging it and plugging it back in it is inefficient and not compressing the freon gas enough and therefore not cooling enough.
The fan in the freezer should be running as should the fan under the refrigerator.
The condenser should be warm and the fan should be blowing[drawing] air across it when the compressor is on.
You don\'t repair compressors and to recharge them correctly is expensive.

My freezer is not working

Check compressor working. If not try with replacing relay. If compressor working, check warm in condenser coil by keeping your hand. If warm, check whistling sound in freezer. If no warm gas leak. If warm and no whistling sound in freezer, chocked system.
For gas leak find leak and arrest. Then vacuum and do gas charging.
For chock, release all gas, flush out system, replace filter drier, vacuum and do gas charging. Call professional repairman to do it. Thanks.

Stopped cooling

1. Check power to relay. 2.Check compressor is working by holding amps meter in phase or neutral wire. 3. If compressor is not working, replace relay and check. If compressor working check gas in the system by holding your hand on condenser coil. It should be warm. If no warm, no gas. If warm and check for whistling sound in freezer. If no sound system chock. Call repairman to rectify.
4. Check defrost timer and thermostat or on. If it's not solved the problem, please write clearly type of problem you faced. Thanks.

Fridge is getting warm & making a funny sound could it be compressor?

It could be the compressor or the start relay. If you hear a click sound, then your relay is good and your compressor is shot. If you do not hear a clicking sound, then your compressor is good and your relay is shot. Also check to make sure that under operation even if the compressor does not work the fan should still be spinning, even if it is warm air. Please rate

Refer warming / no compressor / no fan

If the fan doesn't work , the compressor overheats and shut off by the overload protection.I would replace the fan which will cost no more than $30.

My Danby DDR586R dehumidifier shouts hot air, it was shooting cool air before, what can the problem be?

Here is Danby's official response to a similar question on their FAQ page for Dehumidifiers:
https://www.danby.com/faqs.php?cat=12

Q) When the dehumidifier is operating, is it normal for the expelled air to be quite warm? We find that the dehumidifier is warming up the room noticeably (a finished basement).

A) The warm air that is being expelled from your dehumidifier is normal. When the unit is dehumidifying the compressor is working which causes the compressor to become quite hot. In order to avoid having the compressor overheat, air is drawn by the compressor at a rapid rate and the heat is then transferred to the air which must be expelled from the unit. The warm air will stop shortly after the unit has reached the desired humidity. This warm air should not change your room temperature by more than a degree or two.
