Pretty sure fan controls fridge temp, when fridge temp is reached fan shuts off.

Fridge part not cooling but the freezer is fine

Sounds like one of the fans aren't working. The fans only work when the both doors are shut. Shut one door and use a strong magenet on the magenetic sensor ( located on where the door shuts in between the two doors. Shaped like a lump that sticks out). Put your hand to the back wall of the fridge (or to the fan in the freezer) and see if there is air movement. Is there isn't then its the compartment your in's fan.
If they are both working then it could be your freezers de-ice element not working or your fidge my need to be switched off to defrost

Freezer is cold, but cold air is not circulating in refrigerator

Check freezer fan is working.If ice formed over freezer fan by working. It's a common problem due to irregular defrosting. Keep freezer setting temp at 5 degree. And check defrost timer, thermostat,heater are working properly.
Turn timer with small tip screw driver to shut off fridge. If not shut off, replace timer. Turn counter clockwise defrost thermostat. If fridge not shuts off replace defrost thermostat.Check heater by join the 2 wires in the defrost thermostat. And after 1 minute, unplug power and keep your arm on heater. If it's warm heater is o.k. Otherwise, replace heater.
Once heater starts work at regular interval controlled by thermostat and timer, defrost will be good and effective cooling will also be in fridge compartment.

Kenmore fridge over pullout freezer. Freezer has snow. Model 59673502201 . Fridge runs, and shuts off apparently normally. Freezer is cold, air blowing (fan?) from behind freezer temp control. Thought...

Please : - Clean up your freezer - set the thermostat to middle - check the fan for malfunction
There are many things that cause your freezer work abnormally.

Fridge section runs warm. Freezer ok it seems.

Sounds like the inside fan is getting worn out. Should vary in speed. Try replacing the fan and see if that fixes it. I'd bet it will. ken

Refrigerator is out but freezer still works

Hello dan_2137
Welcome,

You said, overloaded freezer may have caused fan to go out? Is this possible? Cleaned dust from compressor and shut off to let it cool down but it is still not working

Yes It's possible. If the freezer is so packed full where the packages cover the air vents in the rear of the freezer.
The freezer and the fridge share the cold air and this is the first think we look for if the fridge is warm and the freezer cold, And the fan works nonstop rather than cycling off and on!

What is the model number and year of your fridge!
Waiting your response.
