Q: Where is the adjustment blade located on the TCL RF282BSFO?

The adjustment blade (paleta) of the TCL RF282BSFO is located behind the refrigerator drawer (the bottom drawer of the refrigerator compartment). This part regulates the airflow between the freezer and the refrigerator: "Cold" position : increases airflow to the refrigerator to cool this compartment further "Coldest" position : enhances freezing in the freezer compartment Mid position : ensures an optimal balance between the two compartments If you do not see it immediately when removing the drawer, it may be slightly recessed or positioned to the side. Be sure to check the entire inner surface behind the drawer.

Question 1

Where is the adjustment blade located on the TCL RF282BSFO?

Accepted Answer

The adjustment blade (paleta) of the TCL RF282BSFO is located behind the refrigerator drawer (the bottom drawer of the refrigerator compartment).

This part regulates the airflow between the freezer and the refrigerator:

"Cold" position: increases airflow to the refrigerator to cool this compartment further
"Coldest" position: enhances freezing in the freezer compartment
Mid position: ensures an optimal balance between the two compartments

If you do not see it immediately when removing the drawer, it may be slightly recessed or positioned to the side. Be sure to check the entire inner surface behind the drawer.

Question 2

How do I adjust the temperature of the refrigerator and freezer on the TCL RF282BSFO?

Accepted Answer

To adjust the temperature on your TCL RF282BSFO, use the " + " and " - " buttons on the control panel. These buttons allow you to select a level between 02 and 08, where 02 is the coldest. After making your adjustment, wait at least 5 seconds to confirm the change.

If you want to improve the cooling balance between the refrigerator and freezer, you can also use the register adjustment button located behind the refrigerator drawer:

Point it towards the “cold” side to increase airflow to the refrigerator and enhance its cooling
Point it towards the “coldest” side to strengthen freezing by reducing airflow to the refrigerator compartment
Position it in the middle range for an optimal balance between the two compartments

Allow the appliance to run for at least 4 hours after each adjustment for the new temperature settings to stabilize.

Question 3

The refrigerator compartment of the TCL RF282BSFO is not cooling, but the freezer is working properly - how to fix it?

Accepted Answer

If the refrigerator compartment of your TCL RF282BSFO is not cooling while the freezer is working, the problem usually comes from the cold air distribution damper (damper palette). Here’s how to check and correct it:

1. Check the damper adjustment button

This button is located behind the freezer drawer of your appliance. Observe its current position:

If it is set to "the coldest", this reduces cold air to the refrigeration and prolongs the compressor operation to enhance freezing. That’s why your freezer is freezing but your fridge is not cooling.
Reposition the damper to the "cold" side to increase the flow of cold air to the refrigerator compartment.

2. Adjust the temperature

Use the "+" and "-" buttons on the control panel to select a level between 02 and 08 (where 02 is the coldest). Press the buttons until you reach the desired position, then wait 5 seconds for the setting to be confirmed.

3. Check the external conditions

Make sure that:

The appliance has at least 10 cm of free space around it for proper ventilation.
The appliance is not exposed directly to sunlight or near a heat source.

If after these checks the refrigerator compartment remains warm, contact TCL customer service, as a problem in the air distribution system or the compressor may require technical intervention.
