Some of the problem seen when refrigerator section fins ice up is liquids freezing in the box.

Thermisor malfunctions and refrigerator defaults to cooling cycle "always " on. On older models default was "off ".

We just turn the refrigerator off for about 4 hours until ice melts from fins and restart the refrigerator. Food will be fine and computer resents for normal operation.
