I discovered the fan is not ruuning to circulate the air, when i tested the fan directly to power it was running. so the freezer works but the upper fridge chamber doesnot and sfter some time the high temperature light comes back p'se advise on which parts i can replace .
I had a similar problem with a top freezer and it was discovered that the fan had actually slipped down on motor shaft and was stuck against the freezer wall. Check to see if there is enough clearance for the fan to actually spin.

When the top half of a freezer is not working properly it is a sign that the air circulation within the freezer is not functioning. In other words, the freezer refrigerant is still working properly, but the cold air it produces isn't going anywhere: Instead, it is sinking to the bottom of the freezer (heat rises) where it does an excellent job of keeping that half of the freezer cold while missing the top section entirely.
The air circulation problem is usually caused by a fan issue. Find where your fan connects to the refrigerant system and pumps the air out into the freezer. If the fan blades are stuck or frozen, you may be able to loosen them or replace the fan. If the fan works mechanically but does not turn on the problem lies with the motor instead. In this case, you can replace the motor or call a professional it may also be fan or evaporator

The fan is free and tested ok
Our problem is very similar - the temperature on both the fridge and the freezer is very eratic but the fridge is the main problem because the temperature is currently running at 21 degrees and doesn't seem to be going down. We have taken off the back panel from the freezer section to remove the built up ice, but this still hasn't worked. We don't know what else to do and we would welcome any advice otherwise we will have to consider buying a new one which is not an option at the moment with Christmas around the corner.
