without getting all technical, look for the condenser coil and be sure it is clean. Some are under the refrigerator and can be accessed by removing a "kick plate." Some are under and in the back and can be accessed by removing a cover with a few screws. Some units have a small fan that moves air over the condenser coil. Look for it and see if it is running. And then there are some that have coils that run up the rear of the unit and when it is pushed back against the wall, the air can not circulate and can cause this issue. This is the simple first step to do before getting a service tech involved.
yes it must be shut off and completely defrosted.with doors left open it usually takes about 2 days. what happened if you look at the back wall in the freezer from the inside you will see a bunch of ice and there is more behind that panel you are looking at. it froze up the coils so that no air will get through them. good luck rich
Many times a freezer and/or refrigeratordo not work right because of a dirty condenser coil...there are also many otherthings that can go wrong.

NOTE: This is a multi-solution answer since I don't have all the tech from your question to pinpoint your problem But the solution is in here generically, if you read and study the solutions very,very carefully. First I would check cold control. Thats where you turn it off, if your temp is not warm. it can be defective and not shutting off. If your temp is warm proceed with the following. I would check the fan in the freezer. Listen to see if it is running It moves air to the ref from the freezer Then check to see if FREEZER CONTROL is turned warmer which makes REF. colder or vice versa. Also this might be a common Defrost problem, Ice is not being melted by the defrost system.The fan can't blow through the coils into the fridge. Take out back panel of freezer to check for ice buildup. The coils should be clean. There are three components to a defrost system- a heater,heater thermostat, and a timer unless you have a defrost electronic card. Its best handled by a Technician but you could possibly do it by taking your model number to the nearest appliance parts store and asking for the parts. They are mostly located in freezer ,behind back panel on freezer coils.except the card which is usually located in ref The parts store will have info Also check fan undernearh Ref in the rear Clean condenser coils underneath .I'm including my article on Refrigerator Repair for your help and convenience.; Please click or copy and paste into browser for Article http://www.fixya.com/support/r5816737-fix_refrigerator_psychologically MORE TIPS AND TRICKS: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- STOP PAYING FOR EXPENSIVE WATER FILTERS FOR YOUR REF.

REMOVE THE ICEMAKER AND INSPECT THE FILL TUBE. RUN WATER IN TUBE TO ELININATE BLOCKAGE AND CHECK TEMP IN FREEZER. IF TEMP IS BELOW 0 DEGREES, THATS OVERKILL AND USUALLY A WASTE OF ELECTRICITY TO KEEP IT THAT COLD, NOT TO MENTION THE FILL TUBE FREEZING UP ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for using fixya Leo Ponder imufo2 Please VOTE FOR ME AND GIVE ME YOUR TESTIMONIAL IF POSSIBLE, IF THIS WAS HELPFUL ITWILL BE MUCH APPRECIATED.
