Make sure that the freezer fan is working and circulating the cold air. Then check the damper assembly to make sure that cold air is being circulated into the refrigerator. And lastly make sure that the self defroster is working - if not the evaporator will freeze up, freezer temps go up, and ice maker will not work if freezer temps are 10 degrees or higher. A digital refrigerator thermometer will confirm freezer temps being high.

bad evaporator fan and or a defrost problem

Refrigerator running but not that cold, freezer running also but not freezing at all. Also not making Ice

The problem is a defrost problem. The freezer coil has frost on it and thus restricts the cold air from flowing. This affects the refrigerator as it gets its cold air from the freezer. The ice will not make if the temperature is above 12*F and this also is why ice cream is like mush.

check fan cold control or damper control

Sorry it took me so long to get back to ya!
It sounds as if the return air ducts have frozen over.  the square holes your talking about are returns. so lets follow these instructions for cleaning the drain and while your at it you can def the return air at the same time. 

• Unplug refrigerator
• unload food from freezer
• remove icemaker if present (there are 3 screws remove the one on the bottom and loosen the 2 on top of icemaker then lift it off the 2 screws unplug from wiring harness)
• remove 2 screws holding rear cover in place
• move cover to the side or remove from unit altogether
• defrost any and all ice from bottom of freezer and aluminum drain pan that is now exposed
• flush drain hole that you will see once ice is cleared with warm water. (sometimes I use a large syringe or turkey baster to forcefully flush hot water thru the drain tube)
  
• reassemble in reverse order

After doing this let me know how it turns out. Your drain may not be plugged but these instructions will get you to the returns and cleaning the drain will save you problems later on as well. Peyton

tata75,
Happy to assist you,

you said,
For the past three days, water has been leaking/freezing at an alarming rate. The freezer had about 2 inches of ice built up and the bottom of the refrigerator is holding water, too. Both crisper s were FULL of water. I don't know if the ice maker connection is broken or what. Looks like I have to cut off the cold water completely to the sink to get it to stop.

Sounds like the ice maker or its line is leaking the water to me. And obviously it will freeze in the freezer.
