The fan blower and/or heater assembly has failed leading to ice build up inside. However it could be more simple 'cos the drain from the freezer to the pan under the refrigerator is plugged up -
most likely with ice. You can see this drain line behind the refrigerator. When
the freezer goes through an automatic defrost this drain line is used to get the
water out of the freezer. Try a thorough manual defrost to see if the line opens
up - you will have quite a bit of water in the tray underneath and it might
overflow. That is probably all you will have to do to fix this problem.
Basically three things to look for: clogged drain, bad defrost timer, bad mullion heater
strip.
