Surprised! Embarrassed!

My wife had accidentally covered the return vent under the bottom left drawer. I didn't catch it until much later.
Thanks to any who tried to help.

Hi everyone,

Freezer cold. Removed freezer inside back panel. No excess frost on evaporator. Air duct to fridge seems clear. Circulating fan is running. Fridge thermostat fan is holding baffle wide open. Air exiting duct is at about 33 degrees F. Very little air comes through duct if the freezer door is shut. If freezer door is open, there is great flow of air out of duct! Is this normal? Is there a return path for air from the fridge back to the freezer that could be blocked? Is there another explanation for my problem? Note: Freezer temp in single digits F. Fridge temp in the low 60s. Room temp in our kitchen high 60s.

Many thanks for any help!
