The compressor is the black thing in the lower back part of the refrig. It's about 1' square and has small copper tubes coming out of it.

The compressor could keep that up for years and still be fine or it could go out today. No matter what, if the compressor goes out, you need to buy another fridge. The cost of the compressor would be about the same cost of buying a new fridge. It's illegal to replace the compressor yourself anyway due to the freon in the system.

In a nutshell, I can get all the parts and freon at wholesale prices due to having relatives in the business and I wouldn't bother fixing the thing cuz it would cost too much. Fridges are like TV's anymore, if they break you throw them away.
