Refrigerator not cooling fully
Our refrigerator is cool but not cold. Freezer can't keep ice frozen. No ammonia smell. I have a fan inside frig running full time. Temps are highs in mid 80's lows in lower 70's. No shade...

Also check your Door Gaskets. Not just that they're clean along with the surface they touch. Make sure nothing's holding a door even the slightest bit ajar. Do the Dollar Bill Test. Close the door on the bill and be sure there's resistance against pulling it out. All the way around.
A few years ago I thought we'd have to replace our Norcold N811. Then I found the doors weren't sealing on the corners up from (freezer) and down from (fridge) the latches. So I tried springing the doors so those corners touched first. That worked for one closing per door. So we developed The Gestures. The upper freezer door corner gets a palm of the hand push every time we close it. The lower fridge door corner gets a knee push.
I did, also, add two little 80mm computer fans on the outside coils about the same time as we figured out the Door Gesture plan.
Noticing you have a Fiver, IF your fridge is in a SLIDE, you MUST have a FAN on the outside. When fridge is not in a slide, its upper vent is through the roof and heat convection is far better than our the side wall. Get the Installation Instructions for your Fridge Make/Model. Make sure it doesn't have dead air space above it, and the ventilation is properly set up.
