why does the refrigerator cool only on the freezer side?

If this is a twin compressor + Twin thermostat model, I can imagine that the fridge-side compressor / pump or thermostat is faulty whilst those for the freezer are OK.

If this is a single compressor +/or single thermostat model, it may be that the refrigerant pipes/tubes or the air ways are blocked. That is, the themostat and compressor are fine but the refrigerant or the cooled air is there but is not being circulated.
