HELP ... freezer but no fridge

Went out to prep up for the first trip of the year and turned on the fridge/freezer to pre-cool it before loading up the food and .... surprise ... freezer gets cold but fridge part is still at ambient temperature after 5 hrs on AC power. Dometic unit, one control with "slider" temperature control in the fridge. The cooling fins in the fridge are not cold at all.

Ideas ???

It's a crisis since we're supposed to leave in the morning.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh .... :mad:

It's back in the shop ... they've eliminated the thermistor as the problem and are now checking the control board and then the cooling unit. They can bypass the board, if necessary, to allow us to take our planned-for-a-year trip early Monday morning. But if it's the cooling unit, Dometic will not allow them to install a replacement unit unless it's shipped from Dometic's warranty department which takes at least a week to get. The part is $980 :eek: so it's not something you can just take the hit on.
