It is not likely to be a dual cooling appliance, most Daewoo cool the fridge by taking cold air from the freezer compartment.
Usually on the freezer side, the rear panel can be removed, this gives access to the gubbins.
It is likely that the drain hole at the bottom is blocked and it has frozen up.
Initially if you can defrost it completely by turning it off for a day it may clear any ice blockage itself, if it does not you will need to open the rear panel and clean through the hole at the bottom with a thin thing (like a knitting needle)
