Quick check — and when it's not DIY
Before you call anyone, confirm the thermostat setting, that the door seals fully, and that vents inside aren't blocked by over-packed items. Also, listen for the evaporator fan running when the door's closed, since a silent fan is a common first sign. Past that point, a fan that's confirmed dead, or ice built up around it, means removing interior panels to reach it — not a quick swap without disassembly experience.
