My freezer works but my fridge won't get cold

If the Furrion FCR08DCGTA fridge is not getting cold while the freezer is working, possible issues include:
1. The ambient temperature is below 32°F (0°C), which can cause the refrigerator section to freeze or not cool properly. 2. The temperature control dial may not be set correctly and should be adjusted toward "max" in cooler environments. 3. The door gasket may be torn or not sealing, allowing warm air to enter. 4. The door may be left open or opened frequently, affecting cooling efficiency. 5. The shelf placement may restrict air circulation inside the fridge.
Adjusting the temperature dial, checking the door seal, and ensuring proper shelf positioning may help resolve the issue.
