The fridge gets its cold air from the freezer through a vent between the freezer and fridge.The fan in the freezer blows air through it. There is a flap you adjust with the fridge temp. control. Make sure it's opening and closing when you adjust the fridge temp ..

Could also be begining of a defrost problem.

Magic Chef Side by side...freezer side frosting and Refrigerator side not cooling

Your defrost timer,defrost thermostat and defrost heater need to be checked.
The heater and thermostat are inside the freezer behind the back freezer panel.
The timer is underneath the refrigerator either the left front or right rear.

Fridge cooling freeze up i unplug the unit to defrost plug it back in and works great for about 2 weeks and then begins to freeze up again.it is a Side by Side unit

You have 2 heaters , behind the inside freezer panel. Both heaters , come together in a kit . This is usually the problem , with magic chef refrigs . When replaceing , use the complete kit with wiring . You will have to put the heater guards , with clips , on the new heaters .

MAGIC CHEF CTF1920ARA - Freezer works, Refrig. portion does not.

Sounds like a defrost problem. Check to see if there is any frost buildup in the back wall of the freezer. If so, it is not defrosting as it should.
  • possible causes:
  1. bad defrost timer
  2. bad defrost heater (in freezer)
  3. bad thermo switch in freezer
If you don’t know what these are then unplug the machine and let the ice melt in the freezer overnight with the door open. Then try it the next day, if is cooling fine then you need to have a service person replace one of the above items.
