Q. Why is my mini fridge compressor hot?
A.It is normal for the compressor of a mini fridge to be hot because it pumps the refrigerant inside to cool the fridge with the current operation. This also results in heat as a byproduct, though. So, if it's too hot, then there is a problem. It might be due to poor ventilation. In case your fridge is installed in an overcrowded room, or even if it's placed too near a wall, proper airflow in the fridge would be prevented and would cause the compressor to overheat. It may be the compressor malfunctioning, or even that the thermostat and the temperature control unit may have an issue. Such appliances function irrationally, often leaving the compressor running for some considerable period, hence can overheat. A low level of refrigerant causes overheating of the compressor. This occurs in case there is a refrigerant leak or low levels, causing the compressor to overwork. If the compressor is frequently hot, then it needs to be checked.
