refrigerator section only get's slightly chilled.

If your TPI21A3W refrigerator is only slightly chilled while the freezer functions normally and the condenser fan is operational, the issue could stem from a few key areas. Here’s a professional approach to diagnosing and resolving the problem:

• Location: Found in the freezer compartment.
• Action: Ensure the evaporator fan is running effectively. This fan circulates cold air from the freezer to the refrigerator section. A malfunctioning fan could impede proper air distribution.

• Location: Typically located inside the refrigerator compartment, often near the temperature control knob.
• Action: Verify that the thermostat is set to the correct temperature. Test its continuity with a multimeter. A faulty thermostat may fail to regulate cooling efficiently and should be replaced if defective.

• Location: Usually located behind the lower access panel or near the bottom of the refrigerator.
• Action: Ensure the defrost timer is advancing through its cycles. A malfunctioning timer can cause ice buildup and obstruct airflow, affecting the refrigerator’s cooling performance.

• Action: Check for any obstructions in the vents between the freezer and refrigerator compartments. Blocked vents or ice accumulation can restrict airflow and reduce cooling efficiency.

• Location: Located at the back or underneath the appliance.
• Action: Ensure the condenser coils are clean and free of dust. Properly maintained coils are crucial for efficient cooling and heat dissipation.

By carefully examining these components, you should be able to diagnose and address the cooling issue in your refrigerator section. If these steps don’t resolve the issue, further investigation by a professional technician might be necessary to ensure a thorough and accurate repair.
