GE chest freezer, 6 years old, something like 19 cubic feet,

The temperature runs to -15 to -10 degrees F when I have it on the
warmest setting, which is to say it is colder than what I want, namely 0
degrees.

I am afraid it may be wearing out its compressor.

What is probably wrong?

Thanks.

How much food is in your freezer ?

It sounds like it is almost empty if it is maintaining temperatures
like that on the warmest setting (which is 1 on your freezer)...

It is full, but not packed tightly. The food is in cardboard boxes, but
it doesn't nearly fill all the space.
