I believe this unit has one evaperator for the fridge and another for the freezer but still uses one compressor. There is a valve that switches coolant from one to the other. Either the switch is bad or the evaporator for the fridge is plugged up with shavings from a bad compressor. If it is plugged the freezer will eventually stop working because the evaporator for it will get plugged up as well. Either way I would get it checked out by a repair person and let them run their tests to see what it could be. Good luck, fridges are expensive these days. I usually don't believe in extended warranties but I do recommend purchasing extended warranties on refrigerators because of the failure rate.

Defrost problem. Defrost heater, thermostat, or timer is bad.

If this appliance is new, I would suggest to contact the vendor or manufacturer and ask them for in home service.
It could be the thermostat that might be not working properly or not set properly.
Check the user manual for more info on the thermostat settings.
SOURCE: Condensation on refrigerator front btwn top freezer and refrigerator doors
I have the same problem with my frig in the basement. I get condensation and resulting mold on the top outer surface and related areas. This is from the surface being cold, with resulting outside moist air condensing on the cold surface. Best solution - spray/wipe the surface with a bleach and water solution, let it soak a few minutes, then wipe off with a rag. Add a drop of dishwasher soap to a mixture of roughly 4 parts water to one part bleach. Repeat if necessary. Do this as often as the problem seems to creep up again. Good luck!

Check the damper in the top back of the fresh food section. make sure that it is open and air is coming through it.
Its defrost problem, the freezer should cool,
then freeze, then defrost cycle should start. In your case freezer is cooling,
then freezing, but its not defrosting. That's why fridge section is not
cooling.-------
