Maybe the air passthrough is frozen over blocking cool air to fridge.
I would defrost the whole thing, but you could try a hair dryer blowing into the air vent for 5 -10 mins..

To save, put frozen food in a cooler packed tightly and / or wrapped in newspaper to keep it frozen, if shutting down for the defrost.,

Frigidaire refrigerator compressor overheated when I left the door opne.

the motor of the compressor may have tripped on overload protection. Allow it to cool down and then unplug the fridge then plug it back in and try to run it. It should run. Be advised that the condenser coils underneath need to be clean. You should have a strong person tilt the empty fridge while you vacuum and clean all the dust and lint off the coils. Be gentle as these coils are fragile and are easily damaged. Hope this helps.

Freezer works fine but no cold in refrigerator

Because Your model has an adaptive defrost board Part number Click Here=> 241508001 it is the most likely reason for the defrost or not cooling problem. Frost or snow will be collecting on the freezer walls. Click Here=> Frigidaire Controls FRS6LF7JW3 number 23 is the adaptive defrost and 115 is the auto damper and I need you to make sure it is opening and closing properly. This refrigerator is a little complex because the thermostat, auto dampre and Adaptive defrost are all wired together so don't give up until we locate the one of the three causing the problem. setting warmer freezer should open damper and cause colder fresh food. Stick with me on this. If need you may contact me here on Fixya or my Forum=> Appliance 911 My contact information is located above the Fixya Ad on my blog here=> Sea Breeze Appliance Parts and Technical Services, www.pcappliancerepair.com
Thanks, Sea Breeze

Click here=> Wiring Diagram note wire 6 goes to auto damper so if ADC board or a thermostat defevtive that will be the cause.

I have a whirlpool frig for about 5 years now and as of the last week the freezer is icing up on the left side where the door opens and the refrigerator part doesn't get that cold even with the controls...

Check the following: is the defrost timer cycling. If it is is the heater working, located behind the freezer back panel, defrosts the Evaporator coil that makes cold.

Dairy products are seperating

Time & temperature. Even if kept at the proper temperature, dairy products will separate in time. Bacteria will also do it. If you drink from the bottle, the enzymes in your saliva will infest and break down the whole container. It's being digested in the container, like feeding baby food from the jar. The food in the jar becomes watery, because it's being digested.

The refrigerator side of my kenmore refrigerator does not cool

Make sure the evaporator fan is operating. Since the fresh food side is cooled by the air flow from the freezer side. Check for blockage of the air duct from the freezer to the fresh food side. Set the temp control half way. Over adjusting this setting can cause problems with cooling. If I can help you any farther, let me know.

Doesn't cool fresh food

It´s probably overloaded. Any refrigerator has a specific cooling capacity eg x Kg/24hours. you must check that capacity and charge acording to that.
