Freezer works Frig does not

I have a Dometic New Dimension side by side in my 2006 gulf stream.
The freezer side works fine how ever on our return trip for Idaho the refrigerator slowly quite working. Thought it might be the thermistor, replaced it when we got home no luck.
Seems strange on side work and the other does not.
Any ever had this problem?

    Freezer may feel cold but I bet it's not down to zero!!
    All the symptoms of a dying cooling unit.

    Without knowing the actual temp of the freezer we are just guessing.
  • Sounds like blockage between the 2 evaporator sections.

    All cooling effect is occurring in freezer low temp evap but due to blockage to cooling effect can take place in food section high temp evap

    Unfortunately that means replacement...either whole fridge or replacement of cooling unit.

    Unplug thermistor, run it at 24 hrs....w/o thermistor it should freeze in food section
