If there is no cooling
at all on the fridge section but the freezer works then it is confirmed that
the compressor and gas pressure is OK. Now shut off the fridge and leave it
powered off while you clean and check the evaporator for frost. If frost is
seen it is a good indication as the compressor is working with sufficient gas
within. Please check the link below for tips to remove the

Now after about 6 hours plug in the fridge to start. Observe cooling to happen
in about one hour and ice to from under three hours.
Earlier make sure that the thermostat was set to normal mode for freezer and
fridge.
However if ice forms in the freezer then observe the fridge for about 24 hours
for cooling to continue and the fridge to cut off . If not the auto defrost
timer, or the thermostat must be checked. Frost formation without defrosting
could block the air flow and so shut the air passage to the fridge. Also the
blower fan must work and if this is not working then the fan can be faulty.
Also a fault on the control unit is a suspect to non functioning of any one of
these components.
If defrost timer works but frost keeps forming check while the compressor shuts
if the heaters are working, check continuity of the heaters.
So try this test using a multi-meter on the defrost timer and the thermostat and
make your observations so that we come to the solution.

3 things to check. If you didn't adjust the damer from the freezer to the refrigerator, like closed it off. Is the freezer fan running? The fan blows air from the freezer to the refrigerator section. Some fans shut off when the door is open so you may have to push in the door switch to check this out.
Look for ice on the back wall, of the freezer section, If present then the defrost cycle is not working. The evap. coil is icing up and there is no air blowing into the refrigerator. Set the thermostat back to the normal setting it just causes a longer run time on the freezer section.

Generally speaking it is the refrigerator control that controls the compressor operation. Refrigerator is cooled by air from the freezer. When the refrigerator gets down to its designed temperature it shuts off the compressor. The freezer control determines how much air is allowed to flow into the refrigerator section and there-by controls the freezer temperature.

the problem is going to more then likely in the main control board which is on the back of the refrigerator in a little compartment this board is bad about going out if you have power surges or outages
SOURCE: Our fridge / freezer is freezing everything,
our fridge is old but is freessing every thingit is on the lowest tempture
SOURCE: my fridge in my fridge freezer keeps freezing everything in it.
If the fridge side is frozen you have a door seal issue.
If the freezer side is frozen you have a defrost component issue.
Your post was not clear as to which side is frozen.
