Freezer stopped cooling. It sounds normal and the fan runs all the time but it is room temperature inside. It is 5 yrs old. What do you think is wrong with it?

Is the evaporator fan in the freezer running. It blows cold air into the fridge side through a damper in the wall between the freezer and fridge. Make sure the damper is open.
Below the evaporator fan is the evaporator coils. Remove the back cover in the freezer to observe the frost pattern. Light frost everywhere(NORMAL) or a partial pattern of ice(LOW ON FREON) or nothing(LOW FREON OR COMPRESSOR PROBLEM).If the compressor is running but the evaporator coils are not frosting normally then you a qualified tech to find the freon leak, fix it and recharge the system.
