Geezer, sounds like a defrost issue. I usually find the bi-metal to be the culprit on this model. Check out the pic. You will have to remove the back panel in the freezer and defrost the evaporator. Remove the ice maker if there is one. The back cover has 4 quarter inch screws. remove those. The air vent has 2 plastic clips one each side and one on the bottom, push in and pull the grill off. The thermistor cover has a slot for a flat blade screw driver,push in and pull the cover off. The thermistor will now slide behind the back panel. Check the bi-metal for buldging. As long as the evaporator fan is working, it's probably a defrost problem.

Sounds like you may have a restriction or blockage, may also be low on freon

check the thermastat with power off remove one wire on the thermastat and read across the two terminals of the thermastat with an ohm or resistance meter if set to highest setting on the thermastat you should get a resistance reading if you don not the thermastat is vad

Check the damper in the top back of the fresh food section. make sure that it is open and air is coming through it.

Defrost system failure.
Defrost timer, heater, therma disk, any one could be bad.
You could manually defrost and this would get the Ref back to working for a couple of days before it iced up again. Remember there is a lot of ice build up on the cooling coils in the freezer that you can't see so, a little extra time with a hair dryer is needed to do a complete manual defrost.

When the fridge gets warm you can not feel any air coming out of the vent from below no matter what you have the damper set to. After defrosting, the air flows strong and cold through that vent. After 2 days it stops again.
