Bought a side by side fridge for the garage and was told it worked. I cleaned it up and thoroughly vacuumed the coils, around the compressor, etc. The freezer and fridge sides are both at good temperatures but the dividing wall between them is 119-120 degrees on the front. Anyone have thoughts on the cause or fix? I found a date of 2000 for the manufacture. I would assume the system is closed but it seems plausible some contaminate has blocked those part of the lines and it is over heating in that area.

Without the heater strip that space between the doors will sweat and cause water on the floor and rust on the appliance.
This is normal I think
