Ge Side By Side Freezing In The Fridge Side

Refrigerator & Freezer Repair

My GE side by side has been acting up on the refrigerator side .The temperature in the refrigerator side is around 29 - 31 F . and the freezer side around -3 to -7 and setting is on 5 (default)on both sides

I have changed the damper on the upper left side of the refrigerator with USED part (the damper’s gasket was partially torn up) and it never fixed the problem(is there any way to test this damper to know if it’s good or bad? ) .i was checking the mother board in the back ,I took the cover off and found water condensates around where the board is which was absolutely weired to me .

I’m lost right now and don’t know if it’s the board or the damper or thermistor or what.BTW,i did the continuity test between the blue connector and the next white connector as described here and checked closed i.e the heater and thermostat are ok? and i noticed something else ,the light bulb in the freezer side is flickering ,if this has any significance !!
Any input is appreciated

Thank you guys

I would check for an ice clog on the freezer coils or a lint clog in the condenser coils in the back. Your freezer temperature should be a bit colder for a fridg running a lot.
