Despite giving us some times and temps, what's missing is how long
the doors are open and then how long it takes to get back to the

something, the fridge should be back to it's set temp in a hour or
two. It's also going to depend a lot on the thermal mass in the
fridge and freezer. If they are empty, opening the door will result
in a bigger temp rise and take longer to recover than if it's full.

It sounds like your fridge may be struggling. Coils clean? Any
air path/fans inside clear and working?

I tried taking off the back plate which is on the freezer side. I took off four bolts but then got stuck because the plate is behind the light assembly and it was not obvious to me how to get that plate off.

Thanks for the suggestions.
