It could be that your fridge is not full ???
when you open the door the could air rushes out and the warm air in,
Like any fridge or freezer they have to be full for maximum effect

Could be a million things, depending on the fridge. Have you measured the temp in the fridge using an independant thermometer?

Is the fridge iced up? Is it a frost free fridge? Does it have a fan? Where are the cooling fins for the fridge/ freezer?

Let me know the brand and model and it may help diagnosis. But probably sounds like a sensor.
