Also, the "order filter" light just came on. Was hoping to get more life out of the filters especially since we're just 2 people, not a large family like the fridge's target audience.
Be aware that since it's a large fridge with an icemaker, it doesn't have the greatest energy efficiency either (it's not Energy Star rated).

I cleaned the dust from the condenser coils and saw that the condenser fan wasn't spinning. I bought a replacement condenser fan motor for $150 and installed it. Now the fan worked but after two days I still had the same warm refrigerator issue.
Because the freezer side was cold but not the refrigerator side, I suspected ice build up on the evaporator coils (from the compressor constantly running trying to reach a cold temperature because the defective condenser fan wasn't cooling the condenser coils) not allowing cold air to be blown through them into the refrigerator side.
I removed the panel over the evaporator coils on the freezer side and sure enough they were clogged with ice. I used a hair dryer to melt all the ice and put then the panel back on. I set the temperature controls at mid-range which is the initial setting when new. Now the refrigerator runs at 30 to 32 degrees F and the freezer runs at 0 to -4 degrees F, just like brand new.
So before spending money on a new refrigerator, check to see if it isn't something simple. I know very little about refrigerators and never worked on one before. There are videos on You Tube to help.
Before and after pictures of evaporator coils attached.
The only advantage of a French door I've ever noticed is being able to refrigerate whole cakes for birthday parties and such. But that is only for those few occasions.
For your fridge, just search the model number and bypass. "Filter 4" units have a plug available, for example.

I clean the coils regularly about 1 x every 2 years and the temperature control display will show haywire if the power blips for a little while but seems to fix its self after a day or 2 if that happens and that has never affected the actual function of the fridge/freezer.
Granted mine does not have an icemaker/water feature in the door but does have an icemaker in the french door freezer section.
