The cooling fan at the bottom was not working I replaced that. still not cooling in the fridge
At a guess, I'd say the air channel between the freezer and refrigerator section is iced over. The easiest way to fix this is to switch off the unit, and leave it to defrost overnight. If the condition persists after this please repost your issue.

How to check everything
http://www.acmehowto.com/howto/appliance/refrigerator/refrigerator.php
The fridge gets its cold air from the freezer through a vent(damper)
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 .
OR.
If the evaporator coils behind the back panel of the freezer
are icing up because of auto defrost failure that will stop the circulation of
cold air and eventually affect the freezer too.
check defrost timer, defrost heater, defrost thermostat. In
most newer models the timer has been replaced by an electronic control board.
If the heater and thermostat are ok it’ll be the control.
You can turn the defrost timer till it clicks
and everything shuts down. The heater should now come on. If it does, replace
the timer. If it doesn't, check the heater and defrost thermostat. Turn the
timer again till everything starts back up to end the defrost cycle.

Check the damper in the top back of the fresh food section. make sure that it is open and air is coming through it.

You need to start with a clean totally defrosted unit. That means clean, vacuum and wipe as much as you can around the entire motor compressor area especially any coils you can reach. Then set temp around whatever normal is and see what happens. If still the same it's time to have a tech do pressure tests.

I have a similar problem, although I have no cooling in the fridge section. Had a repair man indicate that the electrical panal(pcb board) needs to be replaced. It is on order ($200). Sure hope that is the issue. To me, it appeared that the freezer fan(which cools the fridge) was not working. Whether that is the result of a faulty electrical panal is yet to be determined. Good luck!
