I had the same thing happen with my side-by-side. It was the auto-defroster unit that was not working. If it can't stay defrosted, the coils get all iced up and won't cool properly anymore.
The first thing the repair guy did was expose the coils from the inside by removing a panel at the back of the freezer compartment. Then he literally used a hair dryer to defrost the unit which got it working again for a day while he ordered the part.
If I remember right, the part and labor came to around $225.
Good luck!
