Serving Charleston, SC & the Lowcountry
When the freezer stays cold but the fridge section runs warm, the problem is almost always airflow or a specific part — not the whole system.

Thermostat setting drifted
A surprisingly common cause after a power outage resets the controls.
Blocked air vents between freezer and fridge
Restricts the cold air that's supposed to flow down into the fridge section.
Failing evaporator fan
This fan pushes cold air into the fridge compartment — if it's weak, the fridge warms first.
What You Can Safely Check Yourself
Double-check the temperature dial or digital settings first.
When to Call a Professional
