+1. I'm having a similar problem and many people explain me the same way.One of the most common causes of a fridge not cooling is a defrost relay sticking closed. Of course, this only applies to auto defrost units.
The defrost relay engages heating elements in the fridge that melt off frost. If it sticks on the heat it produces can't be removed fast enough by the refrigeration system and temps climb.
