Why is everything freezing on the bottom half of the fridge?
So, I have had this fridge now for about a year but it was used. Suddenly the fridge temp was getting warmer and warmer so not knowing what it was, I changed the water filter since it hadn't been changed in at least a year but obviously that wasn't what was causing the temp change. So after looking online I figured out that it was the evap fan motor. I replaced it myself and put everything back together. Within a day it was cooled all the way down to recommended temps. 2 days later, everything from the bottom half of the fridge is frozen. Also, my water dispenser is not working. Ice had been coming out just fine from both Ice makers and now suddenly even the Ice makers are not working. I can't tell if this is all related or separate issues. I have found several people saying the water line may be frozen. Would that also cause the fridge to freeze up? I cannot afford for a repairman to come out and tell me something that I could potentially do myself. PLEASE HELP Model: PFE28RSHBSS
Is this a good question?

UPDATE
we used a blow dryer to heat the water line on the back of the fridge, and the water dispenser line, as well as the inside of the fridge door that the ice maker is on, it seemed frozen in there too. And 30 minutes later, we have water dispensing!!
My main problem is still that the inside of the fridge is freezing everything at the bottom in all of the drawers. I spoke to @mayer and he said to cover up the damper so I used some tape lol. I covered 80% of it. We shall see if I did it right. I will update again tomorrow. Thank you so much!!
