That will turn up sites where you can find possible causes and how to narrow it down to what's ailing your fridge.

A quick check turned up a site showing possible causes for "Refrigerator Freezer is Cold But Refrigerator is Warm":

• The Evaporator Coils are Frosted Over

• Evaporator Fan Motor

• Damper Control Assembly

• Thermistor

• Temperature Control Board

• Defrost Thermostat

• Main Control Board (not common)

Entering your model # at a site can produce more specific instructions for troubleshooting your fridge.

Good luck!
