If all the evaporator coils are not frosted over you have sealed system problems like a freon leak or a bad compressor. Will need a repair by a gualified repair guy. Be awair that freon leaks can be very difficult to repair Troble finding the leak.

Is the freezer temperature still good?

If so then try putting the fridge in defrost manually.

In the fridge section locate the defrost control in the control panel.

With the compressor running turn the knob until the compressor shuts off.

The defrost cycle take about 20 minutes.

You should see the coils defrost.

If this happens then you need a new defrost timer.

If is does not defrost you could have a bad heater or bad defrost bi metal.

Here is a link to parts of your fridge CSX22GRBK.

For a better list of parts check your model it is missing one or more characters at the end.
