SOURCE: fridge & freezer have both lost cooling
How old is the unit? Did the problem start gradually or suddenly?
You'd be surprised what a negative effect dirty condenser coils can have on a refrigerant system. Try cleaning the coils on the bottom of the refrigerator and make sure the little fan that draws air across the bottom coils is running.
Loss of refrigerant can also cause inefficient cooling, but a refrigerator does not 'use' up freon and leaks are rare. If it's losing refrigerant, it's got a leak. But far more frequent are the problems noted above.
SOURCE: I have a Westinghouse fridge freezer model number
FREEZER FAN MOTOR MAY NEED REPLACED. THE EASIEST WAY IS TO TAKE OFF THE BACK PANEL IN FREEZER AND REMOVE THE FAN
MOTOR, TAKE IT TO THE NEAREST APPLIANCE PARTS STORE WITH YOUR MODEL NO.

WATER SPLASHING IN FREEZER AT ICEMAKER
THE FILL TUBE IN BACK OF REFRIGERATOR CAN SLIP
AGAINST THE FILL RESERVOIR CAUSING A PARTIAL BLOCKAGE
OR BECOME CLOGGED WITH ICE.
REMOVE THE ICEMAKER AND INSPECT THE FILL TUBE.
RUN WATER IN TUBE TO ELININATE BLOCKAGE AND CHECK
TEMP IN FREEZER. IF TEMP IS BELOW 0 DEGREES, THATS
OVERKILL AND USUALLY A WASTE OF ELECTRICITY TO KEEP IT THAT COLD, NOT TO MENTION THE FILL TUBE FREEZING UP
