Have you tried to turn it to a colder temperature ! or checked the door seal !

it needs a full defrost, the ice has built up to the point that the normal defrost cycle is not clearing it properly
empty both the fridge and the freezer, open both doors, turn the machine off ( pull the plug) for at least 2 full days
food will keep in a chilly bin with a couple of bags of ice, ask a neighbour re room in their freezer for your frozens for those days

if it was low on gas it won't have ice building up

Wish I knew what model I had.it had a new thermometer when just out of warranty and the freezer part has never worked properly since. It freezes on the bottom of the freezer over the drain hole and I use the hair drier to clear it. I have another freezer so only use the fridge.but am going to try the 2 days off.starting now!
