    That's kind of vague. I'm guessing it's broken. You'll probably have to buy a new one, but call a repairman, since none of us can really help you without more information.

    Well how old is the refrigerator?

    After a while, the coolant chemical is all used up or there may be a crack or leak and you'd have to replace the entire fridge.

    Either way, you'll have to call a repairman to fix it or look at it, unless you want to buy a whole new fridge.

    Yeah there could be a leak or crack (plastic becomes brittle with time), I'd call a repairman and see how much it would cost for him to look at it and then repair it.
