Hi, what he is talking about is panel in the vent from the freezer to the fridge. Basically when you want the fridge colder a little panel (damper) inside the vent opens and allows more cold air in the fridge. When you want it warner the damper closes and allows less cold air into the fridge. This damper is controlled by the fridge control. What your repair guy is saying is the door is stuck in the open position which is allowing too much cold air into the fridge and freezing the food. if you have any other questions please feel free to comment. Mike

MAYTAG REFRIGERATOR MSD2756GEQ ALTHOUGH I HAVE THE TEMP SETTING FOR THE REFRIGERATOR SET AS LOW AS POSSIBLE , IT STAYS SO COLD THAT IT FREEZES MUCH OF THE FOOD .

Hello,
They most likely problem is going the damper asm. that opens/closes to let air flow into the refrig.when is calls for cooling then closes when its cold enough. That damper is stuck open andletting in too much cold air. To repair that the damper assambly should be replaced ,the part # for it is 61005991 It fits in the upper left corner of the fresh food section,trying to close it some by hand now will restrict some air flow and perhaps everything wont freeze,until the damper can be replaced. It can be purchased at your local appliance parts store on online at

Frig Freezing EVERYTHING!

Your refrigerator has electronic dampers that may be only stuck. I think it would not hurt to defrost the refrigerator and lets have a look at those damper motors and see if they are responding to your control settings. Let me know, Sea Breeze

Fridge keeps on freezing everything inside of it

This refrigerator only has one thermostat located in the fresh food compartment it is designed to activate the sealed system (cooling) until it reaches approximately 37 deg f in the fresh food compartment. The damper controls how fast the cold air can move from the freezer compartment to the fresh food compartment. Allowing you to control the temp in the freezer by controlling the flow of cold air to the thermostat.

You have one of two problems.
#1 your thermostat is no longer opening when it achieves set temp. fix = replace thermostat pn 61005798 $35
#2 your damper arm or assemblie has broken. Fix = Replace damper or broken arm and actuator.
damper assembly pn12001377 $44
damper actuator pn 61002000 $2
damper arm pn 61001999 $2

Refrigidare model # plhs267za

sounds like the air damper control for refrig is freezing in the open positon. not a really consumer freindly repair,(dropping side control panel checking damper door for ice build up, removing ice and applying a silicone lubricant(vasiline) to prevent further freezing of air damper motor. sounds easy enoug but that panel is real tricky to drop and mount back in.
