Of all of the answers you have gotten so far some have merit but I have not seen anyone suggest checking the condenser fan. You can have something get in there and keep the fan from turning. That fan if not turning will not cool the condenser coils off and no matter how clean the coils are you will have trouble with temperatures.
Since you are vague with your problem I have to be vague with any answer at this time. If you click on my name you can contact me with more details and I will be glad to help you out.

I have a 14 cf Kenmore. It is over 15 yrs old and never a problem. It was laid on it's side twice for moving. Maybe you need to vacuum underneath and behind it. I took the back off (unplug it first) and you won't believe the dust build up. Took me about 2 hours one time. It should be cleaned about every 3 months for optimum performance! LOL But, one wierd thing HAS happened, it is frost free, and now it leaks into the fridge and I have to keep a bowl under the leak. I have taken the entire thing apart and can't figure it out. And I am not paying $125 for fix cuz it works great!

The refrigerant coolant inside might be frozen up inside the coils. If you didn't leave it standing up when you moved, {some people don't realize this} then that could be the cause. Might try letting it defrost and see if that doesn't help. If not and it's still under warranty, you may have to call some one out to repair it

check the seals... open the frig door, place a dollar bill against the seal, then close the door. the bill should pull out with a slight tug, not just fall out. if it's loose, the seals need replacing. they may have gotten jogged loose in the move. also check the coils on the back, see if anything is bent, broken, crunched, dusty, or leaking.. should be none of those. good luck.

maybe it is leaning and you cant tell. maybe try switching the door so it opens on the opposite side or getting a new seal. if you can slide a dollar bill thru the seal, the cold air is leaking out.
also make sure the coils are clean and the freezer doesnt need defrosting (if its an old one)
is any water dripping inside the fridge? our old one did that, and we had to get another one.

Sounds like you knicked one of the cooling vent pipes in the back. You will need to get it sealed and then recharge the FReon. Shouldnot cost more than $100 for a licensed fuy to do it.

if you laid it on its side when you moved that could be the problem.
A fridge should never be on its side.
