Why is my freezer cold but my refrigerator section is warm?

This is the classic symptom of a failed evaporator fan motor. The evaporator coils (which create the cold) are located in the freezer section. The evaporator fan blows air across these coils and circulates it throughout both the freezer and refrigerator compartments. When the fan stops working, cold air stays trapped in the freezer area and can't reach the refrigerator section — so the freezer stays cold but the fridge warms up. You may also notice frost buildup on the freezer back wall or hear unusual noises (or no noise at all) from behind the rear panel. Replacing the evaporator fan motor restores proper air circulation and cooling to both compartments.
