First thing you need to do is check the air vent from your freezer. Often, ice can collect here and cause an uneven flow of cold air into the refrigerator, and it will not circulate. Make sure you are not storing items directly covering your venting. If that doesn't seem to be the problem, leave your freezer door ajar for a couple of minutes. Doing so will cause the fan to turn on, if your fan doesnt turn on..theres the problem.
