Hi guys.
I pick up from discoun store side by side Kenmore
fridge model 106.41662800
The fridge never been usued but had small skratch on the
door that is why went so cheap.
It is new 2008 from April.
I trasported on its site on a pick up truck.
My problem is the freezer is Ok but the fridge does not get cold.
Compressor is working so is the motor, looks like there is not air blowing from three air vents inside the fridge.
I read - there is some kind of door bloking the air to go through
or stop working.
If there is how to get to it or is some other problems.
I do not have a warranty> help please.

Have you taken any actual temperature readings in both compartments? The reason I ask is you may have only 30 degrees in the freezer and it is enough to freeze ice cubes, but then the fridge might be in the 60's.
Did you stand up the fridge and plug it in right away, or wait some time first?
I can't help you on the vent, as I am not used to side x sides. I'd find it though if I were there looking.
But first we need to know what your freezer is really doing. As that is a barometer of how your unit is truly functioning right now.
Also tell us what the compartment setting numbers or letters are set at for each, and what the high and low letters and numbers are. Generally, the factory settings are halfway, for each.

I did take temp.
the freezer is ok with freezing 20F
The fridge is 60F.
After transport I let the fridge stand for a night before
I plug in.
Freezer factory seting 3
fridge 5 and no changes when you move adjustment.
Like I said there is no flow of a air into the fridge.
Frezer is free or ice.
Must be somthig jam to block the air.
