Kitchenaid krff305ess00

I have a Kitchenaid refrigerator, model #KRFF305ESSOO, freezer on bottom, double door fridge on top think unit is about three years old. It has good temp top and bottom but there is stuff freezing in fridge, some veggies in drawers, stuff like yoghurt on top shelf near cold air outlet, only partially freezing. Temp was set for freezer at 0 and set for fridge at 38. I read temp right at cold air outlet in fridge was 10-12 degrees. I emptied freezer pulled cover off evap and found it frosty at top and dripping water at bottom, bottom area of evap read 43-45. Not sure if this  is related but I found condenser fairly dirty and wet, found supply line to icemaker/water dispenser had hole in it and refrigerator had been sitting in puddle. Any thoughts on what is going on? Thanks!

The biggest concern would be the partially frosted evaporator. I would check it again Incase it just came out of defrost last time you checked it. Luckily the sealed system is under warranty based on the age you gave us. SECOND THROUGH FIFTH YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY ON CAVITY LINER AND SEALED REFRIGERATION SYSTEM

Not much you can do about it freezing stuff in front of the air inlet unless it is not closing.  They do fail regularly. Here is a picture of the diagnostic test. You will want to focus on the one for the damper test 121.

You may need to test the temp thermistors but I would make sure the damper can open and close first.
