Angry Dometic Fridge not cooling anymore

We've had our 2019 Thor Chateau for about 10 months now. Two days into our last trip, our 2-door Dometic (2652RBX) refrigerator ceased to keep its chill.

At the campground it was hard to do a decent test, so I waited to get home to run some gas/elec tests in a stable environment. Day temp: high-90s, Night temps: low-70s. Thermistor set at coldest position. Plugged it in 24 hours prior to starting the "test". I then ran it on electric for 24 hours and then ran it on propane for 24 hours. I used 3 thermometers, one in freezer, one near thermistor, and one in the bottom food drawer. Here are the results:



Doing some research I know I can add some sort of exhaust fan in the back to assist but I really wonder if it will help to the degree necessary (pun intended). Will be contacting a local RV shop on Monday, but just wanted to post this up here also in case anyone had some ideas. Thanks!
