The freezer temp is working fine. The Fridge temp will not got below 14 degrees. It should be around 6 degrees. Please help!
The first thing to do is clean out from under and behind the refrigerator thoroughly. In over half the cases like this, I've found it's just a matter of not enough air getting to the compressor, because of dust bunnies or other things blocking the airflow. You'll need to empty it and tilt it back to clean out from under it properly. But I will be surprised if that doesn't fix your problem.
Give it about an hour. If it still doesn't change, then you may need to have your compressor replaced.
Can you hear the fans running? If they're not running, that could be the problem too.
I don't know exactly.
We left ours overnight, and it was doing great by morning. So I'm not sure how long it took exactly, but it was some number of hours.
You'll want to test it, and see if the compressor motor is bad first. I found detailed instructions here:

Still, I'd give it a few hours first and see if the temperature goes down before I tried any of this. However, if it doesn't come down, and the motor tests okay, it may just need a new relay. The relay is that last part you remove before testing the motor.

Usually answered in minutes!
Have tilted the unit and cleaned surfaces with cloth, pushed upright and turned on, have waited 5 minutes and temp of fridge remains at 20minutes. Is there anything else I can do?
Temp is now at 19oC, how long should it take to come down to the display temp.
There is some noise coming from it, but not as loud as I recall it when it was working fine. Can the compressor be easyily replaced?
