My fridge suddenly stopped cooling and there is frost in the freezer. What’s something simple I can check?

We’d slowly changing the temperature but to no avail……...

What a terrible coincidence. My son's fridge is not cooling the refrigerator side. Freezer is OK, but we are looking at curdled milk and moldy everything. :(
I hope ROMOS's tips help.

It is icing up, and the chute which allows the cold air into the food storage section isn't getting satisfied, and that is where the thermostat is located, so it keeps running and freezing some more. Shut it off, and defrost and clean it up. Make sure the damper chute moves as it should, to divert the cold air down to the box. Store your food in coolers of ice as this is going on. It may take over night.

Yes, but I didn't cost you $40-60, to just come in the door!

You must cheak out if the Fridge has an electricity supply,To do this get someome to help you,as you will have to get inside the fridge to cheak out wheather the light goes out when the door is closed,then knock on the door for your helper to exit,
