    Seems to me that you could have a faulty defrost element or thermal switch both of which are situated behind the panel in the freezer section. The fridge section is operated by cold air being driven from freezer by a fan. If you have a build up of ice in the freezer section the fan can't circulate the air causing the fridge to stop cooling. If you switch off appliance for and let the ice melt and then switch it on an you get cold air in the fridge that will prove where the fault is.
