Freezer section getting down to 5*F or lower and food compartment NOT cooling down is sign of obstruction/blockage in tubing between the 2 evap coils

Run fridge overnight then check freezer/food compartment temps
Freezer S/B 5*F or lower (lower the better)
Food compartment S/B 38*F or lower unless obstructed/blocked
If temps do go low then replace thermistor'
If freezer does but food compartment doesn't.......bad cooling unit
