You need to thaw the ice which has clogged the passageway from the freezer to the refrigerator. To do this, you can turn off the whole unit for several hours and let everything thaw, or you can remove the panels and locate the vent(s). Melt the ice with a hair dryer, then reassemble the panels and restart the refrigerator. There is a small chance that the fan in the freezer has frozen up as well. When the refrigerator compressor runs, you should also hear a small fan in the freezer run. If not, you will need to do some investigating to find out why.
the damper vent door between the freezer and fridge section isnt opening up to let cold air in from the freezer side to cool the fridge side,its behind a plastic grille near the top between the 2 compartments,there is also an evaporator fan near this and it also needs to be operating to move the cool air
usually when the bottomof the freezer is cold and the top isn't it's the evap fan motor isn't working and all the cold air sits at the bottom.when you open the freezer door you should hear the fan running inside the freezer,also tried to look up your model but it didn't come up.open the fridge door,look up on the right and hear the cieling and you'll see a tag with the model and serial numbers,i just need the model number and i can help you better
Check to see if the air flow vents are not being blocked. The refrigerator side sucks air from the freezer side and blows it through vents on the side top and is controled by a thermostat marked, usually Refrigerator Cooling. If your thermostat is off, then no air, if the thermostat is kaput, then no air.
check your damper vent door located between the fridge and freezer and make sure its opening up to let cold air into the fridge,also check the evaporator fan motor and make sure its operating to blow the air around the inside of the unit
Sounds like your damper door is not opening. At the top left side of the freshfood compartment you will have a vent or a box like vent. inside is a Motor that opens and closes a door to let air in from the freezer.
The reason the bottom is still cold is because of your return vent behind the crisper at the bottom is letting in cold air and should be returning the air to the freezer.
There could be a many things rong. your refrigerator has a controlboard, this control is reading your temp switch and sensors in the refrigerator that determins when power is sent to the damper door.
Any of those components could be bad.
Most common is the damper door asembly & sensor.
I think yours will come in a kit.
Note : GSH25JFR is not the full model number and you will need to get it from your tag off of your machine. Normaly located in the top of the fresh food area.
Behind the back wall of the freezer about halfway down, probably behind the light bulb (if there is one there) there is a fan. My guess is that the fan isn't working, or is slow. To test, open the freezer door, then hold the door switch closed and listen for the fan.
This fan should be blowing air up the back of the freezer, and send some of the cold air through a vent at the top of the freezer into the fridge. The air then descends through the fridge and reenters the freezer through a vent at the bottom. If the fan is broken, or if the upper vent is somehow blocked or broken, the cold air will enter (rather than exit) the fridge side at the bottom vent. Because cold air tends to descend and warm air rises, the cold air will freeze the stuff at the bottom of the fridge, and the thermostat (at the top of the fridge) will say it is warm.
You have two vents between the freezer and fridge. The one the cold air from the freezer comes through(blown by the fan) and the other vent is a return vent back to the freezer. On a side/side they're at the top and bottom. It sounds like the bottom one may be blocked by food or frosted closed by ice.
I had the same problem with my side by side. Make sure the vents are not
covered inside both the fridge and freezer between the bottom and top so the cold
air is able to circulate between them. My freezer had ice covering the bottom vent.
Check that the freezer circulating fan is running. The frige section may have dampers or vents (lets the freezer air cool the refer section) that are open too much. Usually the bottom area in the frige has a control lever to meter how much cold air gets to that section (lots for meat, little for fruits, etc.). Check the owners manual for operation of those vent dampers.
