Unhappy Freezer works fine, fridge barely keeping up!
Brand: General Electric
Model Number: gss25ufmbww
Age: 5 - 10 years

I had noticed that my side by side fridge/freezer was hot at door seals, then it quit cooling, I cleaned the condenser and the freezer started working good, and the door seals are cool, but the fridge doesn't cool well (42 deg. at max setting).
a repair man replaced a temp sensor but it didn't help.
any suggestions?

Your compressor is probably shutting down on it's thermal overload.
It may be low on refrigerant. Remove freezer back panel and check evaporator coils.
If only partially frozen you have either a bad compressor or a refrigerant leak.
