The air is blowing from freezer into fridge area. I have extra fan blowing overnight to compressor, but it did not help. Still hot. Also, the wall between freezer and fridge is warm What could this be?

I took inside freezer panel off and evaporator fan is good, also there is no buildup on coils. but compressor still runs hot and the refrigeration area is not cooling enough
