the freezer has not gone into defrost there is a time clock inside or the defrost heaters are not working the fan will not blow the cold air into the fridge because its blocked up with ice the best thing to do is remove the food from your freezer (ie) put into another freever if you can unplug your fridge/freezer leave it off for 12 hrs thi will defrost and reset then turn it back on this will come back to life put your food back and keep a eye on it you may have to do this again once in a while because there is so much ice build up the heaters cant cope it only defrosts once or twice a day in a 24 hr period for only 1 hr it might be 2 half hrs in 24 hrs depending on the time clock you have they did change to digital towards the end of the minstral line
