The fridge is running and the freezer is keeping cold but the fridge part wont stay cold?

MAKE SURE THE FAN IN THE FREEZER IS RUNNING THATS THE ONLY WAY THE REFRIGERATOR STAYS COLD DO YOU HAVE AN ICEMAKER IF YOU DO IS IT WORKING OR A DEFROST PROBLEM ANY ICE OR FROST BUILD UP IN THE FREEZER
IF YOU SEE IT ON THE WALLS ITS FULL BEHIND THE WALLS OF THE FREEZER

Adjust the cooling knob inside the fridge according to the outside temperature.

The fridge gets its cold air from the freezer through a vent(damper) between the freezer and fridge.The fan in the freezer blows air through it. Make sure this fan is running. You may have to hold the door switch in for it to run. There is a flap you adjust with the fridge temp. control. Make sure it's opening and closing when you adjust the fridge temp.
The problem could be the electronic control if you have one or the mechanical linkages.

The chill drawers are probably staying cold because there is a vent to the freezer in the wall for the cold air to seep through.

Could be frost build up in the freezer compartment or a bad defroster,
Try running a diagnostic defrost cycle test and see what happens

your relay and overload on side of compressor is bad.you can replace with original parts or a 3-n-1 hard to start.

If the compressor is running continually, could be short of gas , or a compressor problem, ie not pumping properly,make sure it has plenty of ventilation

More likely than not there is a blockage of ice bettween the freezer and the refridgerator. most fridges work to get the freezer cold as a priority.Then the cold freezer air is circulated throughout the rest of the unit to keep the fridge cold. Thats why you may hear a fan running in the fridge unit while the compressor is not on. Unplug and open the doors to warm the inside. Look at the plastic piece bettween the two units and remove. See if there is ice build up and use a hair dryer to melt, dry area out and restart the unit by plugging back in or turning temp dial. Hope this helps.
