This is one of the larger French door cabinets Whirlpool built, with a split freezer section underneath. Because the ice is made up in the door area and the freezer is divided, complaints tend to arrive as ice problems rather than cooling problems, and the fill tube, inlet valve and filter housing are the first things a technician looks at.
A warm fresh-food side with a cold freezer almost always means airflow: a frosted evaporator, a slow fan or a damper that is not opening. Checking door seals, filter age and vent clearance is safe for an owner; opening panels is not.
