The freezer is freezing thawed food solid but even on 9 the frig is closer to room temperature. Any help would be appreciated. (no food in frig)

- Since it got down to 72 this morning, hopefully it's been long enough for it to get cold enough in the freezer that the refer section has gotten cold. If not you can try tapping on bottom coils on the outside with the wooden handle of a hammer. I have had success doing this when the refer section would only get down to mid 40s and the freezer section was at 5-10 degrees (measured on the back wall of the freezer)...usually cold enough for the refer section to get to the mid 30s.
With a high today of 92 proper airflow across the coils is very important. IF in doubt, pull the roof vent and make sure nothing is obstructing the air flow. You also want only a inch of clearance from the coils to the inside wall of the TC...air has to flow through the coils, not able to bypass them. - Fins in food compartment....are they even getting cool?
How long have you been running fridge?
Is it LEVEL????
Freezer has to get down below 10*F before food compartment will start cooling down
Obstructed/blocked cooling unit between 'low temp evap' (freezer) and 'high temp evap' (food compartment).....cooling unit bad
