Middle panel of refrigerator is abnormally hot? (pics provided) fixit

Lately, I’ve noticed that my Whirpool refrigerator has been acting a little weird; freezer wasn’t working at full potential last night and most importantly, the middle panel of the appliance has been abnormally warm.

After some quick google searching, I narrowed the issue to be the condenser coils and how dusty they were, thus restricting proper air flow resulting in possible overheating. So, I cleaned the condenser coils with a vacuum as well as the fan in the back but the problem still persists today.

Any idea on what else it could be? My SO and I are freaking out that this thing could catch on fire!

Please let me know if you would need any other information from me. I’ll be frequently checking my inbox. Thanks in advance, /r/fixit
