Top half of fridge not working (Hotpoint - Mistral range) 7-8 years old?

The top half of the fridge doesn't cool - however the freezer below works fine ( maybe overcooling as it's a few degrees lower than normal) - I've took everything out from the freezer and found the pipe going up to the top is being blocked up by ice - i clean it out and it works normally for a few days but is'nt their a permenant fix?

Needs to be completely defrosted.

If it still doesn't work then it will be the evaporater thermistor. It has a yellow connector and is easy to change by taking the the panel off from the back of the freezer compartment. Carefully take out the polystyrene and carefully pull down the foil to expose the thermistor.
