You will need to unplug the refrigerator and remove the back panel inside the freezer. Check for ice or a frozen over evaporator coil. If frozen defrost and we will need to examine the defrost heater at the bottom of the evaporator. It may have a glass tube covering the heater element inside. I want you to check to see if it is burned out. The part number for the defrost heater is WR51X10042
You please let me know what you find. If the element is burned out I recommend you replace it and the defrost thermostat part number WR50X10068
You and order the parts by clicking the link below and entering the part number into the part number search feature and click FIND IT. Let me know what you find, Sea Breeze

    Because this happens sometimes the wires connecting to the defrost heater may be loose, burned or have a bad connection. Sea Breeze

Freezer working but refrigerator is not cooling

if freezer is close to zero, top to bottom, and fridge is warm(ing), then you likely have a defrost problem, you will notice an abundance of snow/frost on back wall of freezer. it could either be your heater, thermistor, defrost safety thermostat, or your defrost control/main cpu, depending on model. if either or both sides are warm at the top, and cold at bottom, then your freezer fan is out. again depending on your model, it may just be the fan, or a combination fan/main cpu board hope this helps

My freezer (ge artica) temperature goes up to 40%, then cools dow

The main problem with the Artica/Profile is that they have a main control board and a thermostat board inside the fresh food compartment. I have a repair manual and will send you a copy if you want but we are going to have to look at the control boards for burn marks. Let me know if you need me. Thanks, Sea Breeze

Frig gets too cold freezer works good

I had the same problem. I have the side by side Profile Artica. The problem was a broken damper. It allows the cold air in from the freezer side. With it broken, there was a steady flow of freezer air coming into the frig side. It was easy to fix. I ordered the part (damper/fan assemble) for around $100. While searching for a solution, it seems that this is a common problem. Unfortunately, I received a wide range of incorrect solutions to the problem which could have cost me a lot of money. I hope this helps!
