The freezer is working but NOT the refrigerator now!
Yahoo Message Number: 56207
We are so confused by this situation. The freezer is working and the refrigerator is NOT! I cleaned it last night and wonder if I could of done something wrong. I used a spray cleaner on the inside of the refrigerator and then wiped it down. I took all of the shelves out and cleaned aroung that little cord that runs up the right side.

Patience. You will be rewarded. All RV absorption type refrigerators are butt slow. If the freezer is working, you have a working refrigerator.

"The freezer is working and the refrigerator is NOT!"
 A post here just a couple of days ago described an apparently identical situation. In that case, it turned out that there was nothing wrong; it just took awhile for the fridge to cool down.
 A couple of things to keep in mind: first, the fridge and freezer sections are cooled by the same coils, so it's almost impossible for the freezer to be cold but not the fridge.
 And second, these RV refrigerators don't work like your fridge at home; they take much longer to reach a cold temperature, and they need all the help they can get--things like turning on the RV fridge 24 hours in advance of a trip, loading it with ice packs or frozen foods from your home fridge to get it off to a head start, and so on.
 You'll find these and many other helpful tips in the document "How can I keep my refrigerator cold?", located in the Files section of this website, inside the "Frequently Asked Questions" folder. Chances are there's nothing wrong with your refrigerator; you just need to get used to its personality. ;-)

I had this exact same problem just last week.  Turns out I just wasn't patient enough in waiting for it to cool down.  Not sure why cuz I've had the LD for 3 years.  But the next morning, both boxes were properly cold.  I hope that turned out to be your situation.
