A refrigerator that's working normally becomes cold on the inside and hot on

at least part of the outside, usually somewhere in the back.

The refrigerator's job is to remove heat from the inside, where the food is stored.

When it does that, it must do something with the heat. It's usually built to dissipate

that heat from a series of tubes mounted on the back.

If it is hot inside the compartment, it is likely that the gas has leaked away and the compressor running hot as a result.

Why would a refrigerator become hot on the outside?

A refrigerator might become hot on the outside if the condenser coils are dirty or blocked, preventing proper heat dissipation. This can cause the refrigerator to work harder to cool the interior, leading to excess heat on the exterior. Another reason could be a faulty condenser fan motor that is not adequately dissipating heat.
