Residential Fridge Not Cooling, In Fact Hot.

We just made it back home yesterday after an 11 day trip. After arriving home my wife went i to the camper and said the fridges isnt on. At that stage i hadn't gotten around ro plugging the fw in. Then in came to me, it should be on, i went and checked my inverter, and although it was in the on position it wasnt running.

I unplugged it, plugged it in and hit the power button, and all was well, fridge was on.

About 2 hours later i went out to do some work, and opened the fridge to find it was lukewarm. I figured the door hadnt been closed, and didnt think much more of it.

Last night i walked out there to check it, and though the fridge lights are on, the fridge was warm, in fact i could feel heat radiating out of it. The inside side pannel of the door was alost hot to the touch.

Im at a loss as to what the problem is, and while i plan to shut it all down when i get home and see if something resets, my fear is it has quit on me.
