Cooling and freezing problem

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

Sounds like your defrost sensor is acting up because after you unplug it then it works for a week or so.

Your defrost system is bad. When the unit freezes up, the air flow shuts down and you don't cool. When you turm it off, it thaws out and starts to work again. We have parts so give us a call if you like. Hope this helps! Ella

reload freon now to avoid damage
may be the freon are empty

Turned out to be a bad circuit board on the back of the unit which caused the refrigerator/freezer to freeze up. Replace it, thawed the refrigerator compartment, and it works fine. Cost me less than $200 including service call.
