The refrigerator is not getting cold. The freezer is cold but isn't as cold as it was. I just cleaned it but I can't imagine that cleaning the refrigerator interior (not the freezer) could have damaged something.... I did check the controls and have set them to coldest but no luck.
Don't know - some have a small opening you can adjust to balance the air between the top and bottom compartments - usually inside bottom, at back, just under freezer.

Unless specifically made for use in a garage most units won't work properly. The owners manual should say what the temp range for proper operation is (usually 55F is the low range). This is because the refrigerator section doesn't need to be "cooling" to maintain 37F if the temps on the outside are below 55F. These things are made to work in a 70F room and will not work properly if under 55F. Stupid thing thinks it's cold enough so it will never turn on, the refer section will stay cold/cool due to outside temps but since the compressor never runs the freezer will just be the same temp as the refer section (at best). Sorry, but in order for a freezer or refrigerator to work in an unheated space it must have the temp control device controling the freezer section NOT the fresh food section. In other words, that model will not work in a garage unless the temps are above 55F always.
SOURCE: freezer works fine but no cold air in refrigerator...
Check make sure evapurator fan is blowing and nothing blocking any return vents in refrigeratro side prevent air from recirclating
SOURCE: Refrigerator not cold.
if the freezer section is still working ok then check for ice build up inside freezer on the back wall, its possible that the unit is not defrosting and ice is building up on the cooling coils, the most common culprit is the def thermostat. easiest way for you to get it going again fast is to manually def the coil.
remove the 2 screws about half way down the back freezer wall. then using a blow dryer def the ice from the coil.
since this refrig has an electronic def control i would recomend calling a reputable service company to check it further for you..
