Refrigerator thermostat??

Further information-- freezer appears to be about the right temp - 10 degrees F (-5 C?). Fridge, however is too warm at 50 degrees F (13 C?). When the compressor comes on, I hear the fan in the freezer on top, indicating that it is pumping air into the fridge below, I think. Baffle in the freezer is set to "warmest" setting, so it diverts the maximum cold air to the fridge compartment, if I understand how this works. I'm stuck here.

Just diagnosed our over-stove microwave, however, and put in a new magnetron, so I'm capable of DIY repairs with some guidance. Thanks!
