Is it on its way out? It's a Whirlpool, and it does appear to be
quite old. It was here when I bought the house 3 yrs ago, I have no
idea how old it is.
thanks in advance for any advice!

First I second Edwin's suggestion.

I would suggest removing all food and leaving the door propped open
overnight. (Remember to make it safe from children and animals while the
door is open - SAFETY first.) If it starts working then it was likely a
frosted up evaporator coil. Next problem is to find out why. (this is a
variation of what Tony was suggesting.)
