Fridge is about 11 years old. Last couple weeks freezer and food side temps were both high. Called local tech board had burnt mark on back. Wanted $300 to replace. Replaced myself. While replacing noticed buildup of frost on back freezer wall. Removed all ice, let fridge sit for bought an hour. Food side temp is 37 freezer is 24, after 24 hours.

Full of ice looks like Michigan in winter.

Defrost the coils and measure the stabilized temperatures.

Defrosted coils after 24 hrs. Freezer holding at 0° fridge holding at 29. Fridge does not want to reset to 37°.

Most probably your defrost thermostat/limiter is bad, just replace
