Going to have to assume a lot of things... because you put no
make or model... (such as self defrosting).
After you have checked that there is
NOT excessive
FROST BUILD UP (prevents
air flow & causes same symptoms...
(defrost issue: different trouble ...
comment me back)
Without any mention of EXCESSIVE FROST (which would indicate poor door seal/alignment...
(Not DEFROST FAILURE (dry defrost pan)...
That leaves us with your
EVAP FAN...
There are a couple of reasons
evaporator fans fail:
(you just eliminated
old age in your question... "year old")
-
Defective is still a possibility (replace)
- Ice/frost blocked (Full manual DEFROST)
- Physical blockage ((inspect: usually wire or POOR install.
Check your manufacturer's parts list and shop around for the BEST PRICE... There NO variances in quality (just price).
GOOD freezers work because of excellent air flow...!!
And ALWAYS REMEMBER TO TAKE PICURES & REMOVE POWER BEFORE fiddling with every appliance.
Good luck...
