I expect the cooling unit is toast.
would this mean the whole fridge needs to be replaced?

the boiling unit is still working, I can feel that is warm and by the part the flame is, it's even hot.
are the boiling unit and the cooling unit separate from each other, meaning the one can still work (boiling unit) and the other not (cooling unit)?

The boiler is part of the cooling loop – it is really one unit. If the flame is heating the boiler but your not getting cooling there is a fair chance the cooling unit is in need of replacement. They are not repairable. I suggest doing some research on cooling unit replacement if you want to consider doing this yourself. There is a lot of good information out there to help you diagnose the issue. I just replaced our cooling unit with great results. Half the cost of a new refrigerator and not at all hard to make the swap.

The tube may be blocked. Some times the blockage may be shifted by taking the fridge out and "rolling it". This is a "hail mary" attempt to get it to work. How long will it work? 5 minutes or 5 days?
It is a sealed unit. Replacement is the only true fix. Consider moving to a 120 volt cooling unit.

Spiders are notorious for building webs in the flame tubes. This was always the first place we looked when the fridge wasn't running on gas. A thorough inspection and cleaning of that tube is required. Does it run on electric? If so, it's not the cooling unit.
