ive been lookin online and everything that my frig is doing points to the auto defrost. the only probelm is its not froze up and the air has no problem making it to the frig. the freezer is very cold but not the frig. i looked at the cooling coils under the frige they were a little dirty but not bad. the copressor was pretty hot all of the fans are working what the heck is wrong

A model number may help others help you.

You may have checked your coils just after a defrost cycle and that is why there was no frost.
Since the freezer is cold there will be frost on the coils after a couple hours of run time.
You do not have a defrost problem, for defrost to cause problems the coils must be iced/frosted over to the point that the fan cannot pull air through them.

Just to be sure the freezer is cold enough measure the tem[perature, should be 0 to 5 degrees F.
If OK
Many units have a damper between the freezer and the fresh food side, it regulates tha amount of cold air entering the freskh food side. Perhaps it is not opening.
