Assuming the compressor is sized correctly( and usually they are) There are a couple of fairly easy things to check.
1.) The compressor unit.
Are the fan(or fans ) operating. Some units have two condenser fans and will operate with only one until the temperature gets too high for it to keep up.
Is the coil clean. A dirty coil can cause unit to fail too keep up in high temperatures.
2.) The evaporator unit .
Same as condenser unit . Are the fans all working
Are the coils clean.
3.) Defrost Timer. Is the time set correctly .
Is the unit defrosting during low usage time periods.
Hope this helps

Check the damper in the top back of the fresh food section. make sure that it is open and air is coming through it.

Same problem here with an Amana refrigerator with the freezer on the bottom. I removed the back panels and vacuumed dust and cat hair out. The back panel in the freezer was frosted over with ice on the bottom. I removed the shelves and food and used a hairdryer to loosen the panel. The ice maker made it harder to remove the plastic panel so I pulled it back and saw the cooling fins frozen solid. I used the hairdryer to melt the ice and a shop vacuum to collect the water. It works like new again.
SOURCE: sub zero 532. freezer works fine --0 degrees.
check the fan that runs between the freezer and the fridge --check fan for ice blockage -debris-or damage / clean or clear blockage --if not running test wiring and connections as well as motor /repair or replace //also check fan damper is not frozen or blocked its flap that opens and closes for air to flow //----ur fridge side is cooled from the the freezer side the cold air is blown in from the freezer if fan or damper is not working correctly than fridge is usually warm and freezer is working properly
