99% of the time Electronic Control Board

Replaced circuit board which solved the problem. Took 15 minutes to figure out how to get to the board and ten minutes to replace it and reinstall everything.

I changed the electronic control panel and the refrigerator is working like new! The part from appliance parts pro got here in less than 24 hours, when using the two day shipping option. The how to video on the appliance parts pro web site was spot on and made it easy to complete the task. I was able to complete the job for less than half the price I was quoted by a Sears tech.

The refrigerator would get warm every couple of weeks when the freezer frosted over

In the end, I replaced the electronic control board. It was an easy fix. Instructions are provided. Just note that you're supposed to crack the board along the fault line to form two boards. The hard part for me was determining that the control board was to blame. I hesitated to replace it because the onboard diagnostics indicated nothing wrong, and replacing it was the most expensive option. The defrost thermostat seemed much more likely, and many instructions on the web (incorrectly) say that the thermostat should close in a cup of ice water. No, the thermostat requires colder temperatures to close; test it in a working freezer. I eventually swapped the control board after seeing a professional tech on YouTube do the same after only seeing the onboard diagnostics pass. And of course the problem only occurred when the freezer frosted over, so every time I'd manually defrost the freezer, everything seemed fine for a couple of weeks. I became very experienced at taking the freezer apart.

Fridge not getting cold but freezer cold and fridge was constantly running

I did some research on the fridge not getting cold but freezer ok. I found a very helpful post that explained how to put the fridge into diagnostic mode and how to run some of the diagnostic tests with the buttons on the fridge display. I determined that the control board was my problem after running several of the self tests. The control board was not allowing the defrost cycle to run properly and it was keeping the compressor on constantly which was freezing the water on the fins and blocking the airflow from the freezer to the fridge.

Google and YouTube search pointed to the problem the fan was ok so I replaced the electronic control board.
