Not so much you couldn't put your hand on it. It will be warm while in operation. They will usually heat up abnormally by trying to start but failing, over and over and over again.

You suspect the starter may have gone bad?

The starting relay, overload protector or the compressor itself could all be possibilities if the compressor doesn't run properly, yes. Poor power to the appliance (like running it on an extension cord, etc.) could also cause it.
