hi,i take it the motor at back of fridge is working ok and the grill on back of fridge is warm.? make sure thermostat in fridge is around 3 or 4 and theres a drain hole inside of fridge compartment at the back /bottom. make sure this is not blocked with ice . if it is you will need to defrost completely. hope this helps .

could be a gas issue causing it not to get cold where the thermostat is and then go in to overdrive and freeze.air getting in could also cause ice formations
