I have a three year old whirlpool etowsrxml03. I returned from a trip to find that the door had been left open. After 36 hours it does not seem to be getting cold. The freezer is fine; just not the refrigerator. What could be the problem?

In addition to checking the fan, check to see if its any blockages from the fan to where the fan blows the cold air into the refrigerator. A number of times ice buildup or other blocks the entry of cold air from the fan in the freezer to the refrigerator. But as Hazee said also check the fan, because certain times the fan motor dies out or the fan blades can get stuck.

Whirpool not cooling
Thank you both. One of the building's maintenance men, who as it turns out is also licensed to repair refrigerators, took a look, found the fan not working properly and found ice buildup. So it seems that he has confirmed what both of you have said. He's coming back tomorrow to see what he can do.
