Quick check — and when it's not DIY
Start here — it costs nothing and rules out the easy cause: listen for the evaporator fan running when the door's closed, since a silent fan is a common first sign. When that isn't the fix, it's usually a defrost heater, sensor, or sealed-system fault, and diagnosing those needs a multimeter and refrigeration training, not guesswork.
