Weak freezing — not reaching temperature
items soft on the outside, ice cream partially melted, or wet rather than dry frost.
a worn lid gasket leaking warm air, overfilling above the load line blocking cold-air circulation, a drifted thermostat, a dusty condenser, or low refrigerant from a leak.
the banknote test on the gasket (close the lid on a note and pull — if it slides out easily, the gasket leaks), reduce the load below the fill line, and set the thermostat one step colder, then wait 6–8 hours. If weakness persists, the cooling circuit needs professional gauge testing.
