I had the same problem. The frezzer worked but the fridge was not getting cold. What I have learned is that the frezzer make the fridge cold, so if the frezzer is working then something is blocking the cold air to get into the fridge. Most likely ice. The air come in at the bottom of the inside of the fridge next to the frezzer. Pull everything out of the frezzer, then unscrew the plannel that runs along the back and you see if there is ice. If so turn frezzer off and dry out the frezzer. I used hot water.

Hi,
Here are a couple of tips that I wrote that will help you figure this out...

This usually means the evaporator fan has quit. Located in the freezer it circulates cold air into the frige side.

If it was layed down to move and not let sit for a while before using it again it would not work. Somtimes leaving in off and let it settle will straighten it out but not all time. The oil in the compressor get into the cooling lines and blockes the freon. Other than that, check the condenser coil which are near the compressor. They should be warm when the compressor is runnin. If they are not warm there is a compressor or freon problem.

It's not defrosting properly, make sure the circulating fan is working and the frezzer is not iced up.

Check to see if interior fan motor is running and blades are forcing cold air down to the lower section. New fan motors can be ordered from repairclinic.com or local parts house. Also look for blocked air ducts at back of cabinet.
