The refrigerator side of my unit is freezing up behind the back wall and the interior is warm. The freezer side appears to be okay. This is the second time this has happened in the past two weeks. Melted away the ice with a hair dryer the first time. Now I want to fix the problem. Any suggestions? Thanks

Following is some tech info( two different sites.) I could not find a manual for your model so with luck one of the following will be at least close.
You have to join the site to download the manual but it is free and this is a very good site for manuals and other info for the appliance repair DIYer.

Sounds like a defrost problem.
Try to force a defrost to see if the defrost heater comes on.
If it does then you know that the defrost heater and the defrost thermostat (thermo fuse) are OK.
Then the likely candidate is the main control board but I would check the thermistor just to be sure it is not affecting the defrost.
If it does not come on check the heater and the thermostat with a meter.
The big problem with these units is that they do not sell the defrost heater as a separate part and replacing the entire evaporator assembly will be expensive. I would try to come up with a jiggery pokery fix if the heater is shot.
Sorry I could not be more helpful but I have no experience with these units.
With luck someone else will jump in with additional tech info and experience.
Thanks Denman I checked heater and it in fact shot. New one from appliancepartspros.com should be here tomorrow.
