If the freezer is working ok, then you've probably got an airflow
restriction. Look for trash (plastic bags etc.) lodged in the air vent
that passes between the compartments. Make sure you have nothing
blocking the vent in the fresh food section. Should be in the back left
corner above the upper shelf.
What temperature is the freezer section running?
