Hello, We have a whirlpool side-by-side refrigerator. The top vent that sends air from freezer to refrigerator section shows ice particles in the refrigerator vent (top vent).
The milk has spoiled already. The frig is a little over a year old, but we don't have the service contract. Some vegetables also appear not be cooled enough.
Can anyone offer some advice to correct this problem? THank you very much!
There is a fan that moves air between the two compartments. If the fan dies, so does the fridge, but the freezer will still be cold. Check it out;

Sound like you have a evaperator coil icing up on you. If it is under 1 year old call the manufactor to fix it for nothing. If over a year old it's your repair to make.
If your going to do it yourself go to
If your going to call for service by a refrigerator service company. Your looking at changing the defrost terminator, defrost heating element , Defrost timer, or even maybe a evaperator fan or blade. The bad compressor, low on freon , and thermostat hanging up does not come into play here.
