On many fridges the sealed system has a ''manufacturer’s warranty'' of 5 years on parts (not labour). The rest of the fridge usually only has the 12 months. Check the warranty on your model (look in the user guide) to see what it says.
The sealed system includes the compressor, evaporator, condenser, filter dryer and associated pipes etc.
If the problem is anywhere in this area except the pipes where they are encased in the cabinet insulation then it can be fixed.
The refrigerant would have to be extracted, the faulty part replaced, the sealed system needs then to be evacuated (vacuum created) and new refrigerant put in and then the system needs to be tested to make sure that the pressures, temperatures etc, are OK and then resealed again.

If it is no longer under warranty then it is more a decision of whether it is economically viable to do it or not
