Is the freezer fan running. Hold the door switch in to check, as it cut off when the door is open. There is a flap you adjust with the fridge temp. control. Make sure it's open. If the evaporator coils behind the back panel of the freezer are icing up because of auto defrost failure that will stop the circulation of cold air and eventually affect the freezer too. Take the back cover in the freezer to see the coils.
