There you go; the freezer is working fine, it just isn't
maintaining the fridge. You either have an air leak in the door
gasket, ice buildup in the duct between the evaporator coil and
the fridge, or another blockage in same.

This all assumes that you have the air control (if equipped) set
to the correct setting. Try moving it to the other extreme to
see if the fridge gets cooler and the freezer warms up.

Do the new models have a heater for defrost? If so, could it be
stuck "on?"
