The refrig has been set to run and cool the interior too low. Turn off the refrig of awhile and let the ice melt. The ice build up may also been caused by poor sealing around the doors and too much humidity in the air. Once the ice has melted, turn it back on and set the temperature inside the refrig to 37 to 40F. The Freezer needs to be set at 0 or about -2F. If the controls don't function right, they may need replacing or a temperature sensor may need replacing. That should be handled by a service tech.

SOURCE: freezer not freezing

Check to see if the fan motor in the freezer is running. Most likely it is not circulating the cold air Also make sure the defrost drain line is clear and has drained out. A frozen sheet of ice will restrict airflow also

SOURCE: ice build up on coil inside freezer

it can be two things the refrgerator probably has a small refrigerant leak therefore it ices up, or the defrosting heater on the begining of the coil is faulty.

SOURCE: Freezer not freezing properly, ice on back wall

Ice on the back wall indicates a problem with the defrost cycle. The ice builds up and starts to choke off the air flow, so your symptoms would indicate that may be happening.

Defrost problems are usually any of the three components, the heater element, the defrost termination temp switch, or the defrost timer.

SOURCE: brandt apollo fridge/freezer - food defrosts + salad freezes

Check the vents in the fridge side and close a little if you can. On the freezer side just for good measure>>>>
Is your circulating fan working?
Sometimes they stick and need a shot of WD 40 and then work
it back and forth a little until it wants to take off again. Keep me informed
and PLEASE give a Thumbs Up for the effort. The Raz Shack

TOP HALF OF FRIDGE COVERED IN ICE AND FREEZING FOOD/DRINK

I have had this problem in the past. You will need to get the automatic defroster fixed or take all products out of freezer part of fridge. Remove back panel of freezer unplug from wall let defrost. put fan in front of it to speed proses. usually an hour or so depending on how badly frozen it is. good luck.

My freezer has stopped working and the fridge is icing up at the back , what do you think could be wrong. This appliance is a fridge freezer

Your refrigerator has stopped defrosting. Depending on model it could be Defrost Timer or Electronic Defrost Control, Defrost Heater and Defrost Thermostat. You can salvage the food by manualy defrosting and that will give you a few days to collect the parts and get her going again. Place your frozen foods in a cooler and use a hair dryer to help melt the ice behide the rear of the freezer back panel, Hope this helps and wish I had your model number I could have sent photos and part numbers, Thanks, Sea Breeze

My fridge is frozen at the back but seems too warm. its a HOTPOINT ICED DIMOND 8326. i don't know what to do.my food and milk isn't cold. its a rented property and the fridge freezer seems very old.

Let this unit completely defrost and thaw(sevral hours) which might bring it back with little or no additional repairs.These units will lock up on excessive ice and will not circulate...good luck

My fridge is'nt working, but the freezer is but the fan comes on when the door is opened and it has become quite frosty. Its a hotpoint

You have to defrost your unit. This usually solves the problem. Remove your frozen food to a good ice chest. Put the refridgerated food in a seperate container ( another ice chest ) and unplug your unit, and open the doors over night. Plug it back in, replace your food an hour or so later.
