Ten year old frig not freezing. Frig part is cool but not like normal. Moved away from wall and found vent in back clogged with dust. Thouroughly cleaned. Unplugged and replugged power. Feels cooler initially but waiting to see. I'm afraid my lack of cleaning may have ruined it? Any tips?

Cleaning the condenser probably fixed your refrigerator. You should clean the condenser at least once a year. But lack of cleaning probably didn’t ruin it hopefully it will go back to work. Yearly Refrigerator Maintenance Also make sure both of the fans are running.

Thanks for the tip. It's been a few hours and still no change. Both fans are running.
