Unplug pull away from the wall and remove the cover that covers the compressor. While unplugged feel top of the compressor. If too hot to keep hand there I would believe you may need to replace the start relay=> OVERLOAD/RELAY W/CAPACITOR
Please do not leave plugged into power as the compressor is trying to start and getting very hot. Too much of this will cause the internal overload to remain open. and early compressor failure.

This happens to my Maytag like clockwork every summer. The freezer works fine but the refrigerator stops cooling. The first time this happened, it was the fault of the small plastic DC fan that sends cooling from the freezer compartment to the refrigerator section. A technician replaced the DC plastic with an AC metal fan he guaranteed would last the life of the refrigerator. He blamed govt energy standards as the reason Maytag uses the cheap DC plastic fan in the first place. Problem solved. One year later, same issue with no cooling in the refrigerator, freezer fine. Again today, nearly one year to the day! SOLUTION? Trip the circuit breaker or unplug the refrigerator for a minimum of 5 minutes. A reboot now fixes the problem every time. Who would have thought you'd ever have to REBOOT your refrigerator?

THIS DOESN"T SAY WHICH FAN IS WORKING IF THE FREEZER FAN STOPS WORKING THE FRIGE WILL NOT GET COLD.
DOES FREEZER STILL FREEZE?. IF SO ITS YOUR FAN

Sounds like the Freezer Fan is wearing out or is worn out. This fan problem is very hard to detect. The reason is that when the motor is starting to wear out the fan will spin, but at a much lower rpm. This is enough to keep the freezer cold. but will not ciculate enough air thru the freezer and the refrigerator to prevent freezer from and refrigerator from cooler. The cost to repair/replace this fan is a minimum of $300.00

Check your freezer setting and set it to a very low temp. the colder the temp the faster the ice will make.
