Two separate things can cause this problem. Either the drain is restricted at the top (most likely), or at the bottom of the hose (not likely). The other cause would be if the drain pan in the freezer is plugged. If the drain pan hole is frozen closed you will be getting water from both vent holes in the refig. top on each side near the back. If the drain is plugged the water will be from the center of the back wall. What most often happens something will get in the drain cup in the refrig. and start growing and plug the drain cup. The drain cup catches the water from the freezer defrost, passes it through the back to the drain hose were it runs into a pain under th refig. where it evaporates. To access the drain cup when the refig controls are in the back of the refig., remove the light cover, remove the knobs, remove the control cover. The drain cup should be visible now. If you don't see any screws holding the drain cup in, it should pull straight out. Clean and replace. You may want to run a little water through it after the drain cup is put back in to make sure it isn't plugged behind the cup. A little bleach water will help keep it from plugging again right away. If the drain pan is frozen in the freezer, the easiest thing to do is unplug the refig., Open booth doors and waite until the water quites coming out the drain hose. This could take a day or longer depending how ice is built up under the cover inside the freezer. Good luck

It depends if you have a separate compressor for the fridge and one for the freezer. If you have only one then the chances are that you have lost some of the gas which means you have a leak which could be impossible to detect. Or the compresser has lost some of its power which means it isn't pumping the gas to the right pressure. What you might find is that the freezer is a lot colder than normal. If you have two compressors then the one for the fridge is not running, the most common problem is that the thermostat has gone. Its not a easy question to answer as there are many possibilities

My fridge gets cold from a vent that comes from the freezer. Check your fridge for something blocking this vent.

It's just the senser for the ref. part. No big deal but a repairman is gonna have to fix it. could be at least 75 dollars or a bit more. A repair guy will tell you right away.

Check the temperature control dial in your fridge and make sure someone didn't change it or turn it off by accident. That's the first thing I always check because it happened to me!!!!

Maybe there is a separate thermostat in the fridge that has gone wrong.

There could be a shortage of gas in the system or your thermostat is not working.
