There are several possible reasons why a home refrigerator may not be cold while the freezer section remains extremely cold:
Thermostat issue: The thermostat controls the temperature settings for both the refrigerator and freezer compartments. If the thermostat is faulty or set incorrectly, it could result in the refrigerator section not cooling properly while the freezer section continues to chill.
Damaged or blocked air vents: The refrigerator and freezer compartments are connected by air vents that allow cold air to circulate. If these vents are blocked by food items or damaged, it can disrupt the airflow and prevent proper cooling in the refrigerator section.
Defective evaporator fan: The evaporator fan is responsible for circulating cold air throughout the refrigerator. If the fan malfunctions or stops working, it can lead to inadequate cooling in the refrigerator while the freezer section still receives cold air.
Condenser coil issues: The condenser coils, located at the back or bottom of the refrigerator, release heat from the system. If these coils are dirty or covered in dust, they may not be able to dissipate heat efficiently, resulting in inadequate cooling in the refrigerator section.
Refrigerant leak: A refrigerant leak can cause an imbalance in the cooling system, resulting in the freezer section becoming excessively cold while the refrigerator section remains warm. This is a more serious issue that may require professional repair.
If you're experiencing this problem with your refrigerator, it is advisable to consult a qualified appliance technician to diagnose and fix the specific issue.

Possible causes:
it may be out of coolant.
Refrigeration works by drawing heat away from the unit. It does this through a process of evaporation.
Both the refrigerator and the freezer have fans to keep it at cold temperatures. PV=RT; A compressor raises the pressure of the gas volume V and temperature rises. A fan blows away the heat into the room. Then the gas pressure is dropped in the refrig cold room and the temperature drops in the cold room, PV=RT. The heat in the cold room heats up the gas and the volume goes to the compressorr again, ec,etc,etc.
Because the glass gets cold and to form the figure it was in it had to expand with heat therefore putting a glass in an extremely cold enviornment like the freezer the glass particles get compact (really tight) and shatters.
Any freezer needs to be kept closed as much as possible if you wish for it to remain cold. However a chest freezer will not warm up as fast as an upright freezer. This is because the cold air in the freezer is heavier than the air outside of the freezer. When you open an upright freezer the cold air "falls" out, this can't happen with a chest freezer.
My refrigerator is not running cold nor is the freezer. It is blowing warm air.
There is insulation between the freezer and refrigerator; additionally, in most refrigerators, the freezer is the only part that is mechanically cooled. The leftover cool air from the freezer is vented into the refrigerator section, and the dials that control the refrigerator's cooling levels generally just determine how much of the freezer air is allowed into the refrigerator chamber.
This depends on your preference. A refrigerator can be set to 35-50 degrees but around 37-40 should be an ideal temperature. It will limit the spreading of bacteria but not freeze your food. A freezer should be below freezing which is 32 degrees.
its not always at the bottom its just the way yours is made some other people have asked why is it at the TOP of the refrigerator so my answer is that its just a selective spot depending on what fridge you have. In fact, the majority of refrigerator/freezer combinations have the freezer on top. As mentioned in other posts, hot air rises and cold air sinks, so freezer-on-top models can transfer cold air to the refrigerator without using as much electricity as other models, making freezer-on-top models the most energy efficient refrigerators (generally speaking) that you can buy.
This gas in your refrigerator draws heat away and makes the objects cold
the top part is cold because that's where the freezer is and the refrigerator is the bottom part.
A refrigerator has a freezer and a cooler compartment. Very cold air from the freezer compartment is blown over the cooler compartment below to cool the product while a Cooler has no freezer compartment.
Today's refrigerators use a cold air system to make the refrigerator section cold. In olden days there would be an evaporator in both the freezer section (which the whole freezer compartment actually was) and an evaporator in the refrigerator section. Today's units use one evaporator with a fan in front of it to blow cold air throughout the freezer and into an air vent leading to the refrigerator section. This blowing of cold, really near zero degree , air across the ice cube trays or ice maker bin the result of this is-- if you don't use ice the cubes keep getting smaller due to evaporation,. Usually this takes about 30 days in which the cubes become stale and begin to take on odors of the food that surrounds them. For a cube to be good use them or throw them out after a month because a guest may love onions but not the taste of them in her Johnny Red Rocks.
it may be out of coolant.
because it doesnt work anymore. you need to get it fixed
It might be out of freon.
Bottom so less cold air escapes and most people use refrigerator more than freezer which will require less bending over.
