The freezer is working fine but the food section only gets to about 48 and stays there no matter where you set the controls. I can feel air blowing down into the food section but apparently it's not enough. Any ideas?

The fridge in my house only has one cooling system.There is a small dial that you can adjust to divert the cold air from the freezer into the fridge.Sometimes it is hidden behind plastic covers usually in the center rear towards the bottom of the freezer.Residential fridges also take longer than rv fridges to cool.Once you get the setting to where you think it should be you should let it cool and check temps for 24 hrs before making further adjustments.After you initially get it set it should be fine after that.Just had my House fridge worked on,brand new and was freezing everything.This is the info the tech gave me after replacing a few parts and it is now working fine.PS it is a Whirlpool also.
