Is the freezer still freezing? If it is there is probably an ice blockage at the rear of the freezer compartment in the vent that takes cold air to the upper refrigerator You can defrost the whole thing and restart or remove the back panel of the freezer and defrost the air vent which is directly behind the fan . You will probably have to remove the ice maker which is not hard, then just get a blow dryer and defrost. If your freezer is not cold you have a different problem. If this fixes your problem but it happens again in a week or two either your defrost circut is gone or you have a air leak in the freezer compartment arond the door seal and you are letting too much moist air into the freezer compartment

Blockage in the system

The compressor is supposed to start & stop, it wont run all the time.

the hose may ned to be replaced or ther is a bad peice of ham in there!

I'm just making a guess, ok? Your freezer setting is too high and is running the fridge for long periods sending a lot of cold air up to the fridge compartment. Try adjusting the freezer down. You could also have a stuck damper control in the fridge. It is just a door as you will... to let the cold air in from the freezer. You could try blocking the vent with some tape to see if this works to solve the icing problem then go further to fix it or replace it if it is bad. Under your fridge before you get to the coils behind the vent cover you should have a tech info sheet hidden in there. it will help you out with part numbers and more.

Sounds like a t-stat to me. Next time when it does it, turn t -stat off and back on. If it comes on, replace it .

It sounds like your evaporator fan motor, they last about 4-5 years. Try to see if the buzzing noise comes from the motor, usually in the freezer compartment behind a vented cover plate

The freezer is usually cooled by the compressor, the fridge is then cooled by an evaporator fan motor ($30). If this fan seizes or slows down then the fridge warms up (it sometimes starts squealing before this happens). It could be that your drain hose is clogged or frozen. Maybe the temperature adjuster go bumped.

If you think it is the evaporator fan motor:
Check to be sure you can get a replacement fan first, they last about 4 - 5 years. Can get from a parts supplier or electric motor company.
UNPLUG fridge. Located usually in top of freezer behind a vented cover plate. Remove cover, remove screws holding fan in, may have to cut wires. Replace with new motor, make sure the fan pushes air into the freezer area and doesn't spin backward drawing air from the freezer area.
