Daewoo standard freezer top and refrigerator bottom...the freezer froze but was still keeping the food frozen where my refrigerator part was not keeping anything cold...I unplugged it yesterday cleaned it and left doors open today I plugged it in about 730am it is now 1030am and the freezer seems to work good but the refrigerator part is a little cold but not much
The is normally a duct between fridge and freezer which can over ice can take 3or 4 days to defrost with both doors open and unplugged.

you have ice build up on the evaporator. two ways to cure. first switch off for 24 hours and leave with doors open. second switch off. remove back panel inside freezer and melt ice off with a hair dryer

please check the air flow to the refrigerator side. it could be a stuck damper motor or damper thermostat. if the fan inside the freezer is running, you should be able to feel cold air coming out off the vents in the refrigerator side. you might have to press the button light switch on the panels to run the fan.

problem is probably that the evaporator is frozen up preventing circulation of air and the fan is jammed with ice.
remove the back panel inside the freezer. melt off the ice with a hairdryer taking care not to heat up any stats mounted on the pipework.
appliance will now work but this is a temporary repair. you must find out the cause of the ice build-up ie why not defrosting.
for starters, check the defrost heater and the thermal cut-out inseries with it.
let me know how you get on and what you find. make sure the fan is free to rotate.

The part that is usually the issue on this model is the defrost thermostat.
I usually test it for continuity while its frosty with an ohm meter. If you don't have an volt/ohm meter, you can get a cheap one at Radio Shack.
It clips on the top right side of your evaporator coil. It is part 23 on the diagram at this website http://content.searspartsdirect.com/lis_png/PLDM/P0070077-00003.png
Let me know if you need anything else
