Help Diagnosing Refrigerator Problem refrigeration

We are a small ice cream company in MT. We purchased a commercial fridge from an online distributor that was DOA. To make a long story short, the producer of the fridge (Avantco) didn't want to pay the extra money to have a repair man come out from over an hour away. After I threatened with small claims courts, the distributor eventually refunded me in full, but voided the warranty. I got to keep the fridge, and was able to get the new temp control unit and secondary temperature probe from the repairman who was originally supposed to make the service call.

I installed both the new temp control unit and the secondary temperature probe, and still no dice -- despite being set at 33F, the fridge never seems to get colder than 42F. I can always hear a low-level hum, but only hear the compressor kick in periodically, though it doesn't seem to be doing much good.

What's next? I am mechanically inclined but do not have a lot of experience with refrigeration. The service manual is basically useless. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
