What makes a side by side frig stop cooling stuff?

Question

I have an older side by side in the garage for overflow food items. Recently, it has reduced it's cooling ability on the frig side and won't freeze anything on the freezer side. I have the dials cranked all the way up. I vacuumed under and behind the thing thinking that may be the issue but still no good. Is there anything else (simple) that I can do that may fix the problem?

Can you suggest a Technician in Melbourne.   My fridge intially was forming snow in the thctfreezer compartment, then it was make a lound noise, eventually it stopped cooling alltogether.  The other night it leaked water underneath.  I turned it off.   After a couple of days, I turned it back on and it has started working OK, but it has done this before so I would like a Technician to have a look.  One technician told me it was the electronics witch to fix would cost over $1000.  The fridge is 6 years old
