If the fridge isn't cooling or the freezer isn't freezing then you should unplug it,

However if the appliance is over freezing (freezing liquds in the fridge compartment,then the thermostat/pcb will need replacing,

Maybe the system has lost its charge(gas) or there is a blockage or coolant issue ,

If it runs 24/7 then yes it is dangerous but I suspect it turns off and on at some stage as the overheat protection should kick in.You need to sort this out asap as your electric bill will be considerably large
