Why Isn't My Fridge Cooling Adequately?

I just purchased this new Whirlpool WRF989SDAH refrigerator and it is not cooling adequately. Not really at all, actually. We purchased it to replace a fridge that wasn't cooling adequately either (came with the house we just bought). I am wondering if it could be an electrical problem. I hope it is something I can fix because I just bought this fridge for a party my girlfriend is having today and it would be a huge let down if it ended up being useless.
