2 days ago, the frigerator stopped cooling. the freezer is working fine. it is a top mount frost proof fridge/freezer. it will be 3 years old this month. the first 3 months after we bought it, it stopped working 3 times. i know of one time it broke, it was because the defrost timer was bad. (within the first month of having it) so....any suggestions? or advice? I have a top/bottom freezer on bottom. freezer works fine, fridge is warm. Unplugged for hour and plugged in... no difference ???
Make sure your fan is working ,its located behind the freezers back wall. If it is working the vent from the freezer down to the refrigerator may be blocked (usually with ice).With out a fan you have no circulation but your freezer may look likes its working,it may last 3 days.Also if you can move everything out unplug it turn it off w/ doors open untill all traces of ice are gone this will free up any clogged tubes. Good luck.

Do you know if the compressor in the back is running? If you can check that out get back to me and we can go from there. Most times if the fan in the freezer is running the defrost timer is ok.
