The first sign you see is formation of some frost on the back wall of the freezer section. When you see this behind the wall where the evaporator is, there is already a lot of frost/ice covering the entire evaporator. This stops cold air flow to the fresh food section and causing it to warm up.
Usually this happens due to failure to one or more of the following:
1. Defrost Heater
2. Defrost Timer
3. Defrost Thermostat
Note: My answer may be specific to side-by-side refrigerators. Evaporator coil of other types of refrigerators may be located at a different place.

How can I manually initiate a forced defrost on my Samsung refrigerator?
To manually initiate a forced defrost on your Samsung refrigerator, locate the defrost button on the control panel. Press and hold the button for about 8-10 seconds until you hear a chime or see the display change. This will start the defrost cycle, allowing the ice to melt and the refrigerator to return to normal operation.

If defrost is on it could be your compressor going bad. See what happens when you leave off defrost or disconnect your compressor. It only controls defrost and air conditioning. I had the same problem
Why is heater control stuck on blend Wont kick into defrost or heater?
Check behind the heat control panel to be sure that the vacuum hoses are all securely plugged into the control switch. As a safety measure on all cars, if you lose vacuum altogether, the default position for air direction is on defrost, so you can always see out of the windshield. Jake McCahn

If there is power to the off switch for the heater is the switch gone?
If you are talking about a wall switch for the heater, check to see if the heater has its own internal thermostat or switch as this might be in the off position and not allow the heater to turn on. If you are talking about a switch on the heater itself, then yes in all probability the switch is not working.

First you have to see if your blower motor is working or not. If it is and still you have no heat then your heater-core is blocked and needs to be replaced.

What should I do if my water heater is not working properly?
If your water heater is not working properly, you should first check the pilot light and thermostat to see if they are functioning correctly. If they are, you may need to flush the tank to remove any sediment buildup. If these steps do not fix the issue, it is best to contact a professional plumber to assess and repair the water heater.
What is wrong with the heater controls on a 91 Buick Regal when the heater controls wont switch to defrost vent etc even when the lights on the buttons iluminate?
Many of these controls are Vacuum operated. You may have a problem where the "Main" Vacuum line has broken. See if you can locate this line by using your manual and make sure that it is intact. TommyTrouble
Why would the rear defrost in a 1999 Oldsmobile Alero just stop working?
It may be a blown fuse. If you have kids, maybe one of them unplugged it for you. Look at the rear window. You can see where it plugs in from the inside.AnswerI had the same problem and discoved that there is a module where the FM entenna (it's in the rear window) and the defrost are plugged together. This module was the problem.
