Hi,

Your description is quite complete but is rather baffling. Pls bear with me while we process by elimination. A few basic/working ideas:

• most designs call for a single compressor to cool the freezer;
• the cold air in the freezer is drawn towards the fridge to cool that area;
• this is performed by a fan drawing air in the freezer through the evaporator;
• most would have a vent or air pathway to guide the freezer air;
• all would have thermostatic control to set the desired temperature;
• some designs have two thermostatic control , 1 for the freezer, 1 for the fridge.

As applied to your concern:

• compressor is working since freezer is OK;
• fan is working as you posted but is the air drawn from the freezer, better still, is the air forced/vented into the fridge?
• could you please check that the air is strongly blown into the fridge area;
• a little experiment, open the fridge door, look for and press on the door switch, the light should go out, after a lengthy seconds, the fan should trigger on, not only would it be audible, you would notice the frozen air swirling inside the fridge area. If you hold on long enough to the dorr switch, the compressor should kick in (if it is not already running) since the thermostat of the fridge area (if one is present) would sense that the fan is turning but the fridge area is not cooling.
  

Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards. Thank you for using FixYa.

Sounds like low gas.

replace the evaporator fan as it should be running and, it sends cold air into the food area from the freezer area

Check if the syrofoam pieces block air inlet. If so then this may be the problem.

The evaporator fan motor may be about to seize and is running to slowly to cool the fridge, cost about ($30).

Check to be sure you can get a replacement fan first, they last about 4 - 5 years. Available from a parts supplier or electric motor company.
Unplug fridge. Located usually in top of freezer behind a vented cover plate. Remove cover, remove screws holding fan in, may have to cut wires. Replace with new motor, make sure the fan spins the same direction (CW OR CCW) as your old one, if you don't know which way it should spin then be sure it pushes air into the freezer area and doesn't spin backward drawing air from the freezer area.

check the freezer panel in the back for frosty ice build-up. is the freezer evaporator fan running?

Assuming you have a frost-free refigerator:
Is your motor-compressor running?
If so, check if you have ice in the freezer section; if so, maybe your defrost thermostat or heating element is kaput.
If the motor-compressor is not running, check in the back of the refrgerator if the defrost time is stuck open, bu turning clockwire the small test screw, with a 1/2inch screwdriver.

I am experiencing the same problem with my GE fridge. We have already tried the Turbo Cool, but nothing seems to help.
