First off, thanks very much for your time and effort in responding to everyone!
My situation:
Kenmore 25359683991 side-by-side. Monday morning I noticed that the Fridge side was noticeably warm. Not hot, but too warm for a fridge; I'd guesstimate 60-65 degrees. Freezer is fine; ice dry and hard, no softness in any of the frozen stuff.
After some research, I checked the damper on the fridge side and it's open. Also checked the defrost cycle on the freezer by manually turning the defrost timer, and that seems to be working as well; there's no frost on the inside of the freezer, and after the defrost cycle has run, there are little droplets of water visible on the back of the freezer compartment.
When I had the damper removed on the fridge side the fan was still running on the freezer side, but there was no air blowing out of the opening on the fridge side (the opening that the damper was covering.
I'm thinking that somewhere in the airflow on the freezer there's something that's blocking or otherwise not allowing the air to be blown from freezer to fridge.
I've looked at the exploded diagram for my model;

and can't see what to check next.
Appreciate any hints/guidance before I start taking things apart all willy-nilly!
Thanks,
