There are 2 evaporator units in the refrigerator, one in each compartment, refrigerator and freezer, so it could be a 3 way valve problem (valve that regulates the refrigerant gas flow between the two evap units depending on the temp in each compartment), the temp sensor in the freezer compartment or perhaps the control board.
If the evap unit in the freezer is not icy cold i.e. 0°F, this indicates no or minimal refrigerant is flowing though it for whatever reason.

If there is a problem with the 3 way valve then depending on your location, you ''may'' need to have a licensed repairer fix it. This is due to the environmental regulations regarding the handling of refrigerant gases. The 3 way valve is part of the sealed refrigerant system.
