CC,
Sounds like,
You have a defrost problem, there are several components involved, heater, thermostat, control or timer, depending on your model number.
Could you get a model number off the production plate/tag, so we can be more accurate in assisting you.

CC,
Here’s an excerpt from our Repair Forum,
It will help you to determine which area to start.
"With the refrigerator running, unplug it and remove the motherboard cover in the back. Locate the power connector in the bottom, left. Pull the connector off the motherboard and put a wire jumper between the connector pins that mate with the motherboard pins labeled line and def. Plug in fridg.
If you now get defrost action in the freezer, you motherboard is probably bad.
If no defrost, you have either a bad defrost heater, or defrost thermostat.
In this way, you will be able to confirm which parts are bad."
If it turns out to be a bad heater or thermostat, you’ll need to remove the back wall of the freezer compartment, and visually and circuit check the 2
components.
