I have a Sharp Fridge-Freezer, model SJ-F78SP-BK. The Fridge compartment freezes. If left on overnight, everything will freeze as if it had been left in the freezer. Freezer is working fine.

Hi,

please increase the temperature in the fridge portion of your fridge as it sounds like you've set that compartments temperature too low.

Thank you.

Hello, We have a Whirlpool Gold bottom freezer

I don't know about Whirlpool refrigerator freezers, but my Amana has a temperature control in the freezer that regulates the overall cooling, and then the control in the refrigerator compartment controls how much of the total cooling is sent to the refrigerator section. My advice would be to lower the temperature setting of the freezer, and see if the temperature lowers in the refrigerator as well. Also, you can go to the Whirlpool website and they can help you further.

Whirlpool SXS.....1. compressor cooling fan quit so fridge and freezer stopped working. 2. replaced cooling fan and fridge and freezer working again. 3. Now the fridge and freezer works but runs nonst

Check to see if the sensor in the freezer compartment is encased in ice. If so, do a complete defrost and restart the unit. Another possibility is a bad thermostat and/or sensor.

There fridge side is freezing everything!

Hi
What is the model of your fridge.

On the older fridges, a faulty thermostat would cause the fridge compressor to run continuously and therefore, would not regulate the temperature.

On newer electronic models, you have temperature sensors giving signals to the control board. These can fail.

The fridge component of our fridge & freezer is not cooling enough regardless of how cold I put the setting. Even at 7, it feels like room temperature. I pulled the fridge out from the wall, there are...

Once ice forms on the freezer coils there is no air flow. I had the same thing. I suspect your defrost cycle is compromised. Could be the bimetal switch, defrost timer or defrost heater element.

Kenmore Side by Side Refrigerator too cold

On a fridge freezer only the fridge temperature is monitored. In a cold location the fridge might not even need cooling and the freezer would get too warm but the thing won't care.

If the fridge sensor sees it as too warm then it will keep the motor running and the first thing to get really cold is the freezer.

Remember the freezing part is not temperature controlled ion a fridgefreezer.
