Check that the evaporator fan in the freezer is not covered in ice due to an auto defrost problem and has trouble starting. If it is then it may be due to a faulty defrost heater, faulty defrost thermostat, blocked drain from under the evaporator unit to the evaporator pan under the freezer compartment or a faulty control board. The fan along with the compressor should be stopped when the refrigerator is in its defrost cycle. The defrost cycle usually occurs once every 8-10 hours (don't know exactly for your model but most brands are within this range) and lasts for about 20 minutes. Only mentioning this because if there is a problem with the defrost then it may be the board if the other checks are OK
Also usually with most refrigerators the fan should stop when a door (either door) is opened and start again when the door is closed so as to not blow the cold air out the door.

If the fan is not iced up check that the refrigerator door switch is OK by manually operating/releasing it to see if the light turns off and on and also if the fan turns off and on.
