From your description it seems that there is no refrigerant flowing through the evaporator unit in the refrigerator compartment.
Your model has two evap units, one in the freezer and one in the refrigerator and the flow of refrigerant is controlled by a [link|https://www.searspartsdirect.com/product/5wmgytit06-0046-106/id-w10709318|refrigerator refrigerant solenoid aka dual evap valve], [link|https://www.searspartsdirect.com/model/5qsfn9lilg-000593/kitchenaid-krfc704fps03-bottom-mount-refrigerator-parts|part #29 - unit parts diagram] being closed or opened as required by the control board.
According to the supplier linked above the part number for the tech sheet is [document|25156|W11190777].
The tech sheet shows how to get into the diagnostic test modes for the refrigerator and service test #40 will test the dual evap valve.
It is a bit concerning that the freezer temp isn’t correct though as the set temp should be closer to 0 deg. F. If the valve were not operating to allow the refrigerant to flow through the refrigerator evap unit then it should be OK going through the freezer evap unit OK but the temp there seems to indicate that there may be something else also that is wrong.

Is the compressor running continually trying to drive down the temps? if so it is nearly too hot to touch?

Hopefully it is not a lack of refrigerant due to a leak as this could be a reason. Check for any oily residues on the condenser coils or on or under the compressor. There is a special oil mixed in with the refrigerant to lubricate the compressor and if there was a leak then the refrigerant would escape to the air undetected but the oil would leave a trace.
If it is determined that there may be a problem with the sealed system (comprises compressor, evaporator units, condenser, dual evap valve, filter dryer and the piping) then depending on your location you may need to get a licensed refrigerator repairer to check the high/low pressures in the sealed system due to the environmental regulations regarding the handling of refrigerant gases.
Looking at the [link|https://mans.io/files/viewer/784138/1|manufacturer’s warranty] for the refrigerator there is 5 year parts and labour on the sealed system and for years 6-10 a parts only warranty on the sealed system. Just something to consider.
