Don't let it stop you from eating your egg salad sandwich, Karen! - Lemmy.World

This is on the fridge at work today.

I’m trying to figure out what kind of defect would cause that. The heating elements of a fridge, the air exchange that has the hotter refrigerant, are all outside the box I believe. If the compressor fails, the refrigerant doesn’t move and doesn’t move heat. So it’d just be an insulated box, right? I think that’d get hotter an ambient but I’m not sure I’d say it’s “heating”.
If the compressor dies but the evaporator tray is still heating, it would definitely cause the fridge to warm up.
Also if the TXV goes it could cause that.
