I am pretty sure that there was only one panel opening at the rear of the unit and that was the one I could open behind the freezer. When I go home from work tonight I will do a check of the rear above the freezer for another panel opening. I understand that there must be another compressor unit someplace.

Since I might not have a rear panel opening behind the refrigerator is it possible that I have to access it through the plastic panels inside the rear of the refrigerator?

Last night I removed the back panel inside the rear of the refrigerator. I located the evaporator. There was some icing of the coils. Just a small amount. I took a hair dryer and spent 5-10 minutes removing the ice. I made sure a the connections were snugly attached and sealed it back up.
This morning the tempurature in the refrigerator seems to be back to normal and the food was not frozen. The freezer tempruature seemed high. I have it set at minus 4 degrees. I set a thermometer in the freezer and it read minus 14 degrees. For now the refrigerator is not freezing up and I can live with the colder freezer. Anything I need to do to prevent the evaporator unit from freezing up in the future? I really appreciate magician59's great advise. Thanks Magician.

I have a Samsung RS265LBBP with twin cooling and I am experiencing the exact same problem (freezer seems fine, fridge is freezing everything).
I will take a look at the fridge coils in a bit. If mine are too frosty, then would that be the defroster that is bad? I thought the defroster is supposed to kick in and melt the frost off the coils every so often.

I think the defroster and evaporator is one unit. If my hair dryer fix does not last I may end up buying the defroster and evaporator unit. Stomper, let me know if you fix your frig. Seems like we may have a similar problem. I would like to know who carries that defroster unit.

Let me know.

I found my evap assembly (with presumed defroster) at this site. Its only $46 for me. It might be worth it just to see if it fixes it. But it could also be the defroster fuse or defroster thermistor (also located on the evap). SEA BREEZE APPLIANCE PARTS AND SERVICES
