Default Built in fridge problem

Got a 12 year old built in the kitchen units fridge, just a plain
fridge, not a fridge freezer. Recently it seems as if it's just not
getting cold enough inside. Milk is going off, cold drinks aren't
*REALLY* cold, just slightly cooler than room temp. The inside is a one
piece plastic moulding, the rear of which quickly acquires a thin
coating of ice. So something is cooling the interior, and it *LOOKS*
like the fridge should keep things cold. the door is shutting properly,
the seal is in good order. I am quite puzzled how there is ice forming,
yet the general inside temp seems high. I have a remote sensor outside
temperature reader, I'll try putting that inside and get a proper
reading, but in the meantime has anyone any ideas?

Finally, are all "built in lower work top / cupboards" fridges a
standard size and easily purchased from the likes of Comet et cetera?
It's the type where the wooden door panel of the kitchen units is
clipped to the fridge door itself, so when closed it looks like any
other unit. Thanks for any tips.

Thanks

These usually have a cooling fan inside check its running and the vents are
not blocked, otherwise its buy a replacement time.
