Why is your refrigerator not cooling?

If the compressor is running, either the compressor has an internal fault or the refrigerant has been lost. If the compressor is not running the thermostat or the compressor may have failed. If the compressor is getting hot and switching off at regular intervals, the refrigerant has been lost. In any case a refrigeration engineer visit will be needed to prove the fault.

Why is the compressor so hot on the refrigerator and no cold air is blowing out?

The compressor is so hot b/c there are fans inside that push the hot air out of the refrigerator. No cold air is blowing out b/c the cold air is going into the fridge.

Why is your refrigerator blowing warm air?

Your compressor is not working. Through evaporation compressors cool the evaporator coil and the fan blows air across it. So if the fan is blowing hot air the compressor is not cooling the coil. But check to see if the dial inside the fridge is turned to "more cold" , that turns the compressor on.

What energy occurs in a refrigerator?

In a refrigerator, electrical energy is converted into mechanical energy by a motor. The motor drives a compressor, and this compresses and heats the refrigerant. Mechanical energy is converted into thermal energy in this process. The hot refrigerant is cooled in the cooling coils behind or beneath the appliance, and the cooler gas is "sprayed" through an expansion valve connected to the cooling coils inside the unit. The releasing of the pressure of the refrigerant allows expansion, and with expansion comes cooling.

Why is the cooling coil of the refrigerator placed near the top of its cabinet?

It isn't always, but the advantage of putting it there is that heat (hot air) rises. You'ld rather not have that hot air heating up the body of the refrigerator.
