I have a Dometic RM2852 fridge, everything was working fine last year. Brought it home from storage and and the fridge portion doesn't cool, the freezer works fine. Any ideas?

If this is an RV fridge (propane and electric modes) There is an air circulation fan in the top of the fridge compartment. There is also fins on the back wall with a sliding temperature adjusting sensor. Slide it down for warmer up for colder.
Some people move it inboard or outboard to adjust the fridge compartment temperature.

Dometic does not use a fan inside the refrigerator compartment.

Freezer works, frig does not. Depending on configuration, you may have external fans installed on the back of the frig with access from the outside vent. You may not. My first suspect would be a failed cooling unit, which is shown one post above in the diagram, particularly since your unit is a 2005 and if the original cooling unit is still in place, it lasted a long time. I have replaced already in our 2015.

i moved the temperature adjusting sensor all the way up, i also turned off the climate control switch (someone suggested it ) and now its at about 42 degrees. Not sure if this is what fixed it or if maybe i didn't wait long enough. But it seems to be working now.

Thanks everyone
