Hi,

he reasons the air is not moving is usually two reasons

  1. The fan or blower has failed.
  2. The coil is covered over with ice and blocks the air flow.

The first reason is pretty simple to fix, you simply replace the air circulator and things are good again.
The second reason can be more difficult.
1. The timing device that runs the defrost cycle of the refrigerator is defective.
2. The heater coil that melts the water is shorted or not working

Usually the first thing to check is the heater coil. If there is resistance through the coil then most likely it is still good.
The timing device can be an advanced defrost control board or a mechanical timing device.
If the heater coil checks out to be good then the problem should be the timer.

For most situations, unplugging the refrigerator and allowing it to defrost on it's own will get you going temporarily, till parts can be shipped to you. That will melt the ice and give you a few days or a couple of weeks till it ices up to the point where it will not work again.

So you can see here, the problem can usually be traced to one of three things.
  1. The fan or blower
  2. The timer device
  3. The electric heater coil
By methodically checking these parts you can isolate your problem and fix it.

Kelvin actor twin air no frost fridge pooling water under veggie compartmeny

Whats the model number? side by side or top freezer? most fridges have a drain in the bottom that drains into a pan under the fridge. This is where the ice goes that the no frost function makes to evaporate into your room. If the drain is plugged, it will pool up. Is the ice maker leaking? Do you live where the humidity is super high? Opening and closing the door alot will let warm moist air in. I doubt that is the problem though. More likely a plugged defrost drain

Fridge Ices Up Even on the Warmest Setting (Freezer Working Fine)

Sounds like the cold control has stuck . Unplug the two wires from the cold control and plug them together. Turn one wire over and plug it into the other. away from the cold control.
If it runs then that cold control is the problem.
