Top refer unit stopped cooling, still hear the fan running, but the freezer drawer unit on the bottom still works fine.
Most likely you have a bad damper,go here to see it

all that happens is the evaporator coil in the freezer gets cold,the evap fan blows the cold air to the fridge section and it goes through the damper,when it gets cold enough in the fridge section the thermostat on the damper closes the damper door,your damper broke in the closed position,this is as long as the door wasn't left open or anything like that,if it was the air ducts could have froze up but most likely it will be the damper.go here and it will show you where it is up near the light in the back and it's part number 18.hope this helps

Check the damper in the top back of the fresh food section. make sure that it is open and air is coming through it.

Is fan in freezer running? If not it is bad and needs replacing. Please leave feedback.

I would check the circulating fan. This problem is very hard to diagnose because the fan spins but not fast enough to circulate the chilled air thru the freezer and the frig.
