Ice is building up in the refrigerator vent on the side and some at the top. We were told to melt ice, reset the controls and even leave the door open a little while to stabilize control settings. This worked for about 2 weeks and ice built up again. The bottom vent is a chunk of ice.

SOURCE: The freezer is too cold and the fridge is not cold enough.

You can turn the thermostat off for now to let the ice thaw out, if a door was left open there might not be anything wrong, but if it freezes up again sounds like you might have a bad defrost heater or defrost limit. Hope this helps
