    The shape of those ice 'cubes' makes it seem like it's not getting down to temperature, or that it is struggling to keep temperature.
    Cleaning the coils, as mentioned by others may help.
    Is there ice buildup (it starts as frost, then turns solid) along the back interior wall of the freezer?
    Aside from the temperature concerns, the water valve (on the refrigerator side) could be going bad and allowing water to bleed by. There should be a valve on the house side that you should shut off until this is resolved. They are commonly behind the refrigerator, but, may be wherever the closest pipe is.
    Thermometers for both refrigerator and freezer compartments are recommended

    I'm not arguing that there isn't any energy exchange. I should have included that in my oc. In my mind that cost would be nothing compared to having replace those transmission cables.

    I liked it. After reading all the drama on reddit about it, I chose to think of it as a fanfic that got picked up. I guess I was just too excited, because, more LOTR

    In most refrigerators the "cold" starts in the freezer section and is pushed to the refrigerator section. So yes, if your freezer isn't freezing, the refrigerator section will be above temperature

    Is there frost or ice buildup on the rear interior wall? If so, you most likely have a defrost problem. Defrost problems are usually simple to fix.
