Possible Causes

Blocked air vents by food items, Stuck or failed air damper, Faulty refrigerator thermistor, Incorrect temperature settings

Safety: Unplug the refrigerator before accessing the damper assembly.

Clear vents: Move items away from vents on the back and sides to allow free airflow.
Check settings: Set temperatures to recommended levels and avoid setting the refrigerator too cold.
Inspect damper: Locate the air damper (often between freezer and refrigerator). Listen for it opening/closing. If stuck open or closed, the damper assembly may need replacement.
