Whirlpool Gold GB2SHTXTS00, I bought it in 2007, but 3 days ago, the cooling suddenly is not working, but freezer and lights are fine

Sometimes when the freezer door is cracked open a bit for too long, ice forms inside around the vent. I believe the fridge is cooled by the freezer air coming through that vent. Defrost the freezer completely, about 36 hours, and wipe it around till it is clean and dry. Then turn it back on and just wait... My Maytag fixed itself that way, and it took a few days to get cool to temp again..... Good Luck!

Unfortunately it sounds as though the board went again.

Probably excessive ice in the condensor. Likely defrost thermostat or defrost heater problem.

What happens is excessive ice keeps airflow from the refrigerator part of the unit.

Sounds like the defrost timer is not tracking the time properly. The unit needs to defrost once every 6-8 hrs. in order to work. Make sure the inside (evaporator) fan is running ok. If it rund for a few days and then warms up in the refrigerator section (coil iced), then the defrost timer is the culprit.

It sounds like to me its your defrost timer(usually under 20.00) that is bad. Yhe are very inexspensive and easy to get to.You can purchase one AT YOUR LOCAL SEARS or online with your model # Glad to be of service

I did some research online, and read that the Start Relay is most commonly the problem. My husband bought the part, (about $50) and reattached it to the side of the compressor....and was cold immediately! apparently a very common problem on these fridges.

Frost accumulation in duct that leads to the freshfood section.

sounds as if you have an ice buildup restricting the fan from moving airflow to the freezer. Inside the freezer take apart the lower shelf and see if this area is full of ice, if so clean it and defrost it.
