Check for Proper Air Circulation:

Ensure that there is adequate space around the refrigerator for proper airflow. Additionally, clean the condenser coils to remove dust and debris.

Investigate the Evaporator Fan:

Check the walls for ice build up.

The evaporator fan helps circulate cold air throughout the refrigerator. A malfunctioning fan can lead to a lack of cooling. Listen for unusual noises or vibrations that may indicate a problem with the fan motor. If necessary, consult a professional technician to replace the motor. Additionally it can cause building up the ice on the refrigerator.
