Your condenser coils are filthy.

You probably have a malfunctioning circulator fan.

You're taking way too long to load food... are you one of those who
leans on the fridge door so it stays open for five minutes while
deciding, strawberry jam or grape jelly, grape jelly or strawberry
jam... peanut butter or cream cheese, cream cheese or peanut
butter...?

I'd guess your fridge "temp monitor" is malfunctioning, have it
recalibrated... I much prefer stand alones, so I can move them
about... I have one in my fridge and one in my freezer. Every time I
open my fridge the thermometer (sits on bottom shelf) reads 34/35F,
freezer thermometer reads -5F.
