If the compressor is locking up, which it most likely is, it is cheaper to just
replace the whole unit. A compressor is about 400, plus install and charge.
It’s a r22 unit. A whole new 410 or whatever the new refrigerant is would be
about $660 or so.

Somewhere in a city near you is a shop that works on RV's. Remove the unit
and take it to them to sort out on the bench. Likely cost less that way and
end up with a unit that works. They should have parts in stock or get them
quickly to sort it out.

Yup, the magic of Windex.
I bought a lantern one time and when I opened the box the STENCH of cigarette
smoke was overpowering. I put the open box outside and soaked it in Windex.
Gloved up and pulled the lantern out, gave it a good wipe down with more Windex
and it finally didn't stink too
I found that liquid Windex removed cig residue and smell from used darkroom
equipment - it seems that all the used equipment I bought came from
smoker's darkrooms. Scrubbing with a brush or rag soaking wet with Windex
did the trick in one treatment.
