I have a five year old Kenmore side by side refig./freezer model number
253.53612300. The freezer temperature is fine, but the refrigerator part freezes everything even when turned to 1. I was told I needed to replace the cold control (both switches) and that I should replace the PC board
because it may also go out soon. Is this correct?
Thanks

The compressor run time isn't being controlled any more and either the sensor or the control itself will need replacement.
You might have noticed that the compressor is running either continuously or at least too long.
There is a flap that directs the air from freezer to fridge. Sometimes this flap can stick Or the actuator that controls the flap can go out. Same with autodefrost timer which seems to give a lot of people trouble. Thermostat is at the top, uncirculated cold air sinks, food in the bottom of the fridge freezes.
If the fridge side is frozen you have a door seal issue. If the freezer side is frozen you have a defrost component issue. Your post was not clear as to which side is frozen.
your thermostat is probably defective. is an electronic or mechanicalthermostat? there is a website called repairclinic.com. where you can enter your model number and get tech. help along with part #'s., its a very good website
