Freezer cold but refrigerator section warm, food spoiling in fresh food compartment while freezer seems normal.

Safety: Unplug the refrigerator before removing interior panels.

• 1. Check for blocked vents: Ensure no large containers or bags are blocking the vents at the back of the fridge or freezer.
• 2. Listen for evaporator fan: With the freezer door closed (press door switch if needed), you should hear the fan. If silent, inspect and replace the evaporator fan motor if necessary.
• 3. Inspect for frost buildup: Remove the freezer rear panel. If the evaporator and air channels are packed with ice, perform a full manual defrost and test the defrost system (heater, thermostat, sensor).
• 4. Check air damper (if equipped): Locate the damper between freezer and fridge (often behind a cover in the fridge). Ensure it opens and closes freely. Replace if stuck or the motor is inoperative.

Restoring proper airflow usually resolves a warm fridge/cold freezer condition.
