I initially thought it was the compressor. After removing the rear panel inside the unit and defrosting the ice with a hair dryer, I finally found a video detailing how to replace the heater element around the coils which I did about 2-3 months ago. Now we'll see whether this resolves the problem. I can then stop praying that this frig simply dies so I can replace it. (My wife loves it) If any one is interested in the video, I can send a link to it.

Our issue is compressor-related.
This is a design flaw. I think Whirlpool is aware.
