Fridge keeps running but won't cool down. Defrost timer, heater, and thermostat all are working, interior fan is running. Compressor is running but fridge still won't cool. (refrigerant leak? how to tell?) The evaporator coil in the fridge frosts up right where the tube enters the fridge interior....

If what you're seeing is a light frost, you probably have a refrigerant leak. If it is more like a solid block of ice, it is a restriction.

Yes light frost. Are leaks repaired or is this too expensive? Have you repaired any leaks? I have some good resources to find the leak... (assuming it's not in the wall of the fridge)...

I'm not familiar with the model number you posted. The repair can be very expensive, depending on your model, its age, and on finding the leak.
