Hi @gary87126,

What is the model number of the refrigerator?

Seems as though there's a defrost problem. This could be caused by a faulty defrost heater, faulty defrost thermostat, block drain leading from below the evaporator unit in the freezer to the evaporator pan under the compartments or a faulty defrost timer or control board.

Knowing the model number will help to narrow it down to what the problem is and also if replacement parts are required then the correct ones for the model can be shown
