They both are not even cool at all, just warm inside? If thats the case then you likely have a compressor/sealed system problem.

Wow! Thanks for the prompt reply.
I should clarify. The fan is running and I'm not sure if the compressor is.
Both sides are warm.

Lets make completely sure the compressor is running, pull your refrigerator out from the wall take off the lower back access cover and put your hand on it and see if its running. If its warm and not running while your fans are running, then its possibibly your compressor start device relay thats out.

This thread explains how to check it:
[FIXED] How to replace a (Whirlpool/Kenmore Model 106) Refrigerator Start Relay

Here’s the compressor start relay for this model, it comes with complete instructions:
Manufacturer part number 8201786 is RepairClinic item number 1177466
8201786
