I can add that the fridge has been unpowered for 18 hrs to melt any ice.

A quick reset has been tried.

Compressor starts when temperature dial is tapped a little hard..

What is the frig temp? How old is the unit?

A few possibilities:

Defrost cycle stuck leaving the heaters on

Something internally blocking the system copper lines

A problem with the filter/dryer (part of the system that may be causing above)
