Side by side fride and freezer are both not cooling, woke up every thing warm ice melted. Not makeing any strange noises. The fan in the freezer is running but I do not hear the compressor kicking on. Any clue on what the problem could be ? Any help would be appreciated thank you

Check to see if the condenser fan at the back bottom of fridge is running.
Is the compressor motor near that fan running.
Are the coils warm ,cold or hot.

Is the evaporator fan in the freezer running. It blows cold air into the fridge side through a damper in the wall between the freezer and fridge. Make sure the damper is open.

Below the evaporator fan is the evaporator coils. Remove the back cover in the freezer to observe the frost pattern. stopped up? clear? ice in one spot . frost everywhere.
