If your coils are froze up, this could be temperature sensor I believe or your defrost valve, usually back in the fridge is your coils if they are frozen solid you need to unplug refrigerator freezer let it thaw out, you will have lots of water so get towels and stuff to soak up your water once it is thawed,plug frigerator freezer back in give it time to cool back down if the refrigerator side is cool now then I would say defrost valve or temperature sensor will need replaced there also should be a fan that blows the cold air into your refrigerator,, was it run for about a day or so if it starts freezing up again that's more proof defrost valves not working
Check for icing of the evaporator (cooling) coil located behind the cover on the back wall inside. There is a cooling coil with a fan to supply the cold air for the refrigerator. Otherwise you might have a control board issue. The iced coil is much more likely. There are repair kits for ice build up and/or defrost problems. To get the proper parts for Samsung you must supply all the ID numbers including full model, full serial number and BOM number (if it has one.)

Unplugging and plugging your unit back in should not have caused any component failure.
You only have one cooling source and that is your freezer. Your fresh food section is cooled by your freezer. You did not provide a model number, so I can not be specific. There is a air vent that goes from your freezer to your fresh food section. I suspect the vent is blocked with ice. Using a hair dryer, melt the ice in the vent until you can feel cold air coming out.
For now unplug the pin plug at lower freezer door hinge and disable the dispenser control board until we see if the keyboard or the dispenser board is at fault. Sea Breeze
If the freezer is staying cold it sounds like a defrost system problem. A bad timer, heater or thermostat can cause frost to build up on the coils and block air flow to the refrig side. Check out ACMEHowTo.com for troubleshooting the defroster problem.
There is a small duct between the freezer and refrigerator side if this is blocked the frig side won't cool.
Call a service person--if this happened rather suddenly, it is likely a refrigerant gas leak. Unplug the unit for now to save the compressor. Buy some dry ice to keep things cold while waiting for repairs.
