The air passages and water drain may need to be cleaned. the frige may be making more ice than normal due to restricted air passages and/or a plugged or restricted water drain, more ice means more defrost time. IF the air passages are nice and clean and the issue still exists check the door gaskets for fit and seal. leaky gaskets allow air (laden with moisture) in where the moisture freezes at a higher than normal rate.

It sounds like either your fan is out or your refrigerator is not defrosting. All of the cold air comes from the freezer, but the temp probe is in the refrigerator. If your freezer is working, its nothing major. Check to see if your evaporator coil is iced up, if it is melt all of the ice, and the refrigerator side will work till you can get a service tech out to look at it.

Problem with LG LFX25950TT Refrigerator (Freezer portion)

It is likely to be either the circulation fan in the freezer or the defrost element. Check the fan is running( you can usually hear it stopping as you open the door, some still run) otherwise it could be a defrost problem, if the element doesn't work the rear fills up with ice and the air cant flow. Both are behind the rear panel of the freezer.

Icecream not staying froze meat stays frozen though

Meat is always more dense than frozen dairy product. This soft ice cream issue usually occurs when the circulating fan becomes blocked due to overloading.
Unlike a chest type freezer, top mounted freezers use a fan to circulate to the refrigerator. If the return vents to the freezer become blocked by too many small items, or loose plastic bags the compressor may run too long in an attempt to lower the refrigerator temp,
This may cause the compressor to heat up and kick in the overload safety, further dropping the total temperature.

Freezer door not fully closed, for 24 hrs, now unit won't get cold

Depending on your local environment and the temperature where you live, if the door was open for that length of time, the freezer will probably take another 24 hours to recover and reach its operating temperature.

If the freezer was full, it might even take longer. If there were meat products in the freezer that thawed out, they may have spoiled, so be aware of that. Sometimes, some meat products can be cooked right away so they aren't wasted. All other products in the freezer should also be checked.

Ice maker not making ice

Water solenoid to ice maker not working. Check with ohm meter..should NOT read open
Water line to Ice maker frozen solid. Look at water inlet to ice maker....is ice present in line?
Evaporator coils frozen over with ice. Will cause water line to freeze and unit will slowly thaw.
Try unplugging the unit for several hours and see if it starts to cool normally again. If it cools normally then check heater element and Defrost Thermostat.
