Update: I was checking thermostats on a 5 year old fridge for 3 hours before I saw the real problem
The owner mentioned the freezer was fine but the fridge side was warm. I was so focused on the usual suspects, I almost missed the tiny ice dam behind the crisper drawer. It was blocking the air channel completely. How often do you guys find the simple visual check saves you from a deep dive?

Spent a whole afternoon once convinced a compressor was shot on a unit. Tore half the back panel off before I noticed the customer had jammed a pizza box against the condenser coils in the back. The simple look-around is the step I'm best at skipping, which is why it bites me every single time. Felt like a real genius that day.

I mean, I get the visual check thing, but honestly I've had way more jobs where the real fix was buried. Sometimes you just gotta dive in first.
