Than they don't know for certain that any parts are required. Just being short of refrigerant can cause your symptom.

I wake up this morning and the fridge is COLD, and the FF and WARM warning lights are gone replaced by NORMAL????

I am almost afraid to remove the inside back panel to check the cooler coils... but I guess I have to do that to make sure it is working correctly... right?
Yes... but if it is, IMO it would likely point to a problem with the compressor as the likely cause in which case you should probably start shopping for a new refrigerator as that is the worst (ie. most expensive) of all the possible causes.

Is it possible that having the freezer loaded to the brim and having frequent door openings led to the failure in the past
Not likely. Those things would usually cause excessive frosting of the evaporator. The *whole* thing, not just part of it. The only thing that can cause *partial* frosting of the evaporator coil is a refrigeration system problem.

What would you nice folks recommend I do next?
Keep your eye on it... and sales flyers for a good deal on a replacement fridge.
