A method of operating a refrigerator appliance includes operating a compressor of the refrigerator appliance to flow a refrigerant to an evaporator of the refrigerator appliance. The method also includes operating a fan to motivate a flow of air between the evaporator and a compartment of the refrigerator appliance while operating the compressor to flow the refrigerant to the evaporator. The compartment is thereby cooled. The method further includes stopping the flow of refrigerant to the evaporator. The method also includes determining a post-cool fan time based on a temperature setpoint of the compartment of the refrigerator appliance. The method further includes operating the fan for the determined post-cool fan time after stopping the flow of refrigerant to the evaporator.
