I have gone to the top. But can't really tell whether the heat coming out is increased. I basically feel the chimney effect on my hand.
I have noticed when I put my hand on the wall on the upper fridge side (above the stove), it feels warmer. That would be the air space above the fridge.
In the back half of the freezer, things freeze. But they don't so much on the front side. So I have to place a foil barrier inside to get meats freezing fully 24 hours later. Cups on the door do not freeze. They used to. Clearly this fridge is putting out less on 9 then it was on 6 just a month ago. It has become super sensitive to temperature changes. Although this has never been the case in the past. So I am trying to get to the bottom of "what went wrong". Thanks.
I would like to mention I have tried unplugging the thermistor for a day. As well as tried sliding it up towards the top of the fin, which helped some. But not enough. The fridge worked so well before that the fins on the right end would ice over regularly in the summer months. But lately, there is little to no frost. Except in the back of the freezer. But zero "freezer fog" when you open the door.
