Comment (by ktsouk):

 After cleaning the fluid (humidity) evaporating plastic container and the
 outside heating exchange element the findings are:
 1. I don't feel vibrations on the compressor, so I assume it does not work
 (this alone is enough for failure)
 2. While cleaning the evaporating fluid (humidity) plastic container I
 touched the thiner refrigerant pipe that made a sound like refrigerant
 leaking away (this alone is enough for failure)
 3. The fridge seemed it had no maintenance since the initial installation.
 Maybe add an automated email every 3 months to do some work like cleaning
 the outside heat exchange element for less power consumption and better
 functionality
 4. I did no check for whether there is a temperature switch fail that
 would keep the compressor off.
 5. There is a (sounds like timing switch) that welcomes the power cables.
 6. The airflow seems to work always when plugged to power.
 7. (Call a technician?:-) If there was a refrigerant leak, the type is
 R134a.
