Refrigerator Not Cooling

I have a maytag mbf2256keb refrigerator and it is not getting cold.  I have turned it up but it isn't helping.  The freezer however is real cold and getting some frost on it.  Any ideas/suggestons on what it going on or what I should do.

My guess is the coolant is not flowing correctly. It could be that or a fan is not working. If the freezer is still getting cold but the fridge is not it is very likely a fan since most bottom freezer fridges (excepting recent models) cool the refrigerator with air from the freezer.
