If the fridge is not cooling at all then it ispossible that the compressor is faulty with low pumping pressure or that the gas is down with low pressure.
Since as you menttioned that the fridge was turned on and it was running the whole time with the back heating- good sign of the condenser heat exchangingg- but since there is no cooling in the fridge, I suspect that the compressor is down.
I would advice that the matter is confirmed once again. So please shut the fridge down for about 8 hours and then put it on to let it run.set the thermostat to normal, see if the ccompressor attains cooling or ice formation in 2-3 hours. If there is no cooling on the fridge, You will need to get help to check the gas pressure inside as well as the compressor pumping status.
Once confirmed get an estimate with warranty on the work to decide further.
As mentioned by you ,If there is signs of fan blowing and there is a stop after some time, check the fan, if getting struck or if failing on heating up.
How do I check the fan, i dont know how to take off the back
I just went over your comment and have observed that the compressor is hot. This is not very good as it is strugling to pump. So my advice now is to shut off the fridge to cool off. The restart and check if there is any cooling in the freezer , if not EITHER the compressor or the Gas pressure is down.
If no presence of ANY cooling, but only the coils/compressor heating up.
I dont think we need to look elsewhere as stated in my earlier statement.
ok thanks for your help, i think i am just going to exchange it for another one if it didnt start majically working tonight for some odd reason
but thanks for you help
Hello - My CR500 was in storage for a year. Now cleaned it up, cleaned around comperssor and so froth. Freezer is quite cold, but fridge is not cooling. Advice? How can I clear the "air vents" or check other things?

The black thing on the back is exhausting the warm air, so it will feel warm but not hot. As for it not getting cold, make sure the coils are not dusty,check the temp control dial and adjust it cooler if needed. The vibration is probably coming from the condensor motor which should only run when it's in a cooling cycle.

where are the coils that i should check?
and what do i do if it is hot?
my emerson compact fridge is not getting cold and the black compressor in the back is hot and everything sounds like its on and running
i cleaned off the coils i could see from the back and i dont know if that is going to fix it
also it is set to its coldest setting but still nothing
any other suggestions to why its not getting cold
ok thanks, and just one more piece of information i noticed, when i plugged it in after letting it sit off for 2 hours or so, i heard air coming out of it for like 15 sec, then someone told me that is the air being circulated and i think thats why its not getting cold
if that sounds like a reason is there anything else i should do?
