Frigde part of unit isn't staying cold, lowest it goes is 44F (with temp dial @ max cold)

; freezer works great temp 9.7F. Haven't replaced anything yet, defrost timer (easy access-kick panel) is warm to touch and you can see though a little circle that something is spinning inside. What I think is the condenser motor (location when facing front of fridge, bottom right in back)- with easy access from back access panel. Have not checked compressor for heat or vibration. All thoughts are welcome. I believe unit is about 45 yo. Also looking for owners manual if possible. Thanks

Does sound likely that your condensor fan may be bad. It should be running if the compressor is running.

Thanks for your reply. I was checking Refrigerator air return/inlet for ice (which I found some) and was using a hairdryer to defrost (because it is not accessable-except by ones finger tips). At that time the condenser kicked on with fan spinning. Checked the compressor, it was vibrating and hot to touch.
