The energy hog is the compressor, which might need to be replaced.
(So, you'd get a new one which is less hoggish). I'd call around,

and
get a couple folks opinion over the phone.

I can think of a couple simple reasons why one might not cool.
Including low on freon, inefficient condensor, and a couple others.

Aren't new ones more like a thousand dollars?


New SubZero refrigerators are more like $8K+ and come in models that
allow matching trim to be installed on the doors

Yes, a new compressor with installation is likely to be on the order
of
$1k or more, and will dramatically improve the efficiency of the unit.
