so a solid wall of ice built up at the back of my freezer

is this because i put the refrigerator on a too warm setting (ironically, i wanted it to be cold, i just read the thermostat the wrong way)

i think what you're supposed to do is lick it.

It's probably not a frostfree unit. Sounds like you need a defrosting session. It really shouldn't matter what setting it's on...

it's a somewhat new GE unit, do they even make non-frostfree fridges anymore?

it's defrosting right now.

Defrost timer may be bad, see if you can manually advance it.
Or, the element is bad.

Another thought, the door gasket may be bad.

Not sure, I thought there were still lower end ones that weren't. I didn't realize it was a newer unit.

I agree with oldsmoboat though, might be a bad seal letting all the ambient humidity in.

Some of the really cheap new ones are still not frost free.
