There is a fan that circulates air between the fridge and freezer
compartments. This fan also blows air around the freezer compartment. If
the fan stops or if the air duct becomes clogged with frost, the air will
not circulate and you will have uneven temperature.

Try defrosting then verify that you feel cold air coming out of the vents
in
the freezer compartment when you turn it back on. Also do not overload
the
freezer such that the vents are blocked. If you have spilled an ice tray
the water may have also frozen in the air duct.

Usually there are two knobs. One is the thermostat and clicks when you
turn
it when you are at the set temp. The other controls the size of the
opening
to the air duct mentioned above. Set the thermostat so that the fridge is
cold but not freezing and adjust the other to balance the tempo between
the
compartments. Look at just about any owners manual for the same style
(top
mount, side by side) for better setting advice.

Sounds like you need to set the thermostat a little lower and close the
freezer vent a bit. This will raise the overall temp a bit and balance
more
cold air in the freezer compartment


And, wait at least a day for the entire refrigerator to stabilize after you
make adjustments. It sometimes takes that long, or longer.
