The air damper door is likely broken. Remove the cover inlet assembly and check. Located in the fresh food section on the top back. It looks like this, and this is what you most likely need to buy. Rotate picture 180 degrees, and you'll know what part it is.
How to remove it: Remove shelves, remove air duct on back (it's on clips) below the inlet cover assembly. Remove light cover and all screws holding the light fixture on top. Remove filter. Remove all screws holding the inlet cover assembly, including the one on the right, on the filter bracket. Disconnect wiring harness plug. MAKE SURE TO TAKE NOTES ON THE PARTS LOCATION OR TAKE PICTURES!!! It's not easy to put it back, so you need to know the exact interconnection of all parts.
Once you take the inlet cover assy off, look inside from the freezer side. The door is a black rectangle piece. It's supposed to be attached to the housing. If it's not attached - replace the whole cover inlet assembly.

Hello Villaruel,
Welcome to fixya.com
I'll give you some tasks that I hope will solve your problem.
Try turning off the fridge, and unplugging it or throw off the breaker, for 5minutes!
then plug it in and turn it back on. We are trying to reset the system like when you reboot your computer. Let me know that it worked!!
Huuum,

Check the air dampers at the bottom of the fresh food section.They may have been moved to a open position. If so close them up some.
Otherwise the cold control thermostat may need to be replaced.

There is one of three reasons why your fridge section is freezing food.
You didnt mention whether you had a side by side or freezer on top or
bottom model, so the following checks may not apply to your unit.
One reason food might be freezing is your cold control has failed, and
will not turn the unit off when the physical temps are correct. When
this occurrs food normally freezes throughout fridge section, top,
bottom, middle, front and back.
BOTH controls, though you may only have one, should be at the middle
setting. Adjust your controls, place a plastic cup of water at the top,
the middle, and bottom shelf of your fridge. Check all three AFTER 24
hours. if all three are ice, you COULD have a bad cold control.
It is possible you might also have a door damper that is stuck open. A
door damper is a swinging or sliding door that opens / closes either
when temp control settings are adjusted, or on some fridges, when either
door is opened, the damper closes. Please note, door dampers are
USUALLY only present on side by side refrigerators. They can have a
motor, or thermostat open the door automatically,which can break, and
others will simply have a lever of some sort, which usually wont.
If after 24 hours, only the middle and bottom cups are ice, your
evaporator fan motor, in the freezer, is likely not operating. Not
knowing the BRAND you own, it could be the motor itself, a thermostat
located on the evaporator, your defrost heater, or a main computer
control board that controls the fan motor.
Sorry I cant be as specific as id like, but i had to cover all possible bases
