My fridge compresser seems to be running all the time lately. In the past like six months ago it hardly ran at all. Thought it was the hot weather but its colder now. Tempeature is ok. New fridge time?

Are you sure the temperature is ok?
If you turn the stat down lower does it stop. (not the off position)?
Normally running all the time is a sign that it's not getting cold enough to turn the stat off. i.e. weak compressor, blockage or lack of gas.
 
It just may be a faulty stat as this is just an on/off switch, these can be as little as £12.00,as you may not notice a change in temp

A faulty stat that is always on should lead to items in the fridge freezing. The machine will just get as cold as possible.
If you have a thermometer check the temperatures of the fridge and freezer.
