We have a kenmore top and bottom with a warm fridge and a really cold freezer?

Check that the fan is operating. If the bottom of the fridge cold & the top warm then thats probably the issue.

The freezer side does not freeze on the top shelf. The refrigerator freezes everything in the bottom but reads 47 degrees and doesn't cool the top shelves. The fan under the fridge runs fine.

Behind the back wall of the freezer about halfway down, probably behind the light bulb (if there is one there) there is a fan. My guess is that the fan isn't working, or is slow. To test, open the freezer door, then hold the door switch closed and listen for the fan.

This fan should be blowing air up the back of the freezer, and send some of the cold air through a vent at the top of the freezer into the fridge. The air then descends through the fridge and reenters the freezer through a vent at the bottom. If the fan is broken, or if the upper vent is somehow blocked or broken, the cold air will enter (rather than exit) the fridge side at the bottom vent. Because cold air tends to descend and warm air rises, the cold air will freeze the stuff at the bottom of the fridge, and the thermostat (at the top of the fridge) will say it is warm.

FRIDGE AND FREEZER IS COLD AT THE BOTTOM AND WARM AT THE TOP

It is a thermostat problem. It can be fixed but is sometimes cheaper to buy a new one.

The fridge section is getting too cold at the bottom

THE CONTROL THAT DIVERTS MORE AIR TO FREEZER AND LESS TO RE-FRIG SIDE COULD NEED TO BE ADJUSTED TO KEEP MORE AIR IN THE FREEZER SIDE , MAKE SURE ALSO THAT THE SMALL FAN IN THE FREEZER IS RUNNING , ALSO TURN THE THERMOSTAT CONTROL TO LESS COLD , IF YOU HAVE A THERMOMETER TO PLACE IN FRIG SIDE TRY TO KEEP @ APP 40 DEGREES IN FRIDGE SIDE SEE IF ANY OF THESE HELP

Fridge is warm even when i adjust temp. control.freezer is good.

if your fridge has 2 set of dials one numbers and the other letters than you need to adjust the dial that has letters on it. If the fan in your freezer is not blowing, then it won't force the cold air from the freezer to the fridge. Make sure fan blows then adjust the letter knob.

Admiral SAC224 fridge freezer: fridge intermittently freezes up

To Whiteorchid,

Found a fix for my issue ... hopefully it'll help you.
Up at the topleft rearmost corner of the fridge remove panel to reveal spring attached slots where cold is supplied from freezer. The spring attached had came off one end as there isn't a "slot" for the spring to hold in place (design fault?).Reattached the spring and taped on .... and hey presto fridge now working perfectly again. Hope this helps.
