Tonto33 has a good point.
W'll be able to advise you from there.
Also just check if the fan is working in the freezer.
To do this open the door then push the door switch which you will probably find somewhere at the top in the door seating area. When you do this a fan should switch on in the freezer compartiment.

Open the fridge side. There should be a silver sticker on one of the inside panels with all the details on.
Something you can do is take the shelves out of the freezer side then unscrew the back panel to get to the evaporator (this is a thing that looks like your car radiator). Once you can see it start the fridge up again and watch for frosting on this coil. It shoul frost all over. Try it and give us the results.
Good luck.

Info labels are often hidden behind salad drawer in the base of the cabinet.
