kenmore freezer cold but not fridge side

[troypham]

i have a kenmore sideby side model 106.56546400 that is running fine on the freezer side, but the fridge side is not cold. I don't think the fan/blower that circulates the air is running. I don't see any ice build up. I have cleaned the condenser coil and still same result. where should i look next. ( i left the unit turned off for 24hrs to see if any ice that built up i didn't see would melt and the unit would work again, but same result after it has been running for the last 18hrs.)

I don't think the fan/blower that circulates the air is running.

Someone will need to look into why. The evaporator (freezer) fan motor should run whenever the compressor is. Proper cooling can not take place without it running.

i found the problem. the air diffuser was stuck in the close position. I could hear the little motor click, but it wouldn't open to let the air flow in from the freezer side. I order the part as well as a thermistator(sp)

thnks for the help.
