Too cold in frig

The vegetables in the veggie drawer routinely get a layer of ice on them. Also, had meat in lower portion of frig and three of four steaks froze. I have turned the temperature setting way down, but it doesn't seem to make a difference.
Read somewhere about blowdrying the freezer vent. Does that make sense?

Our fridge is leaking water into vegetable boxes it is only 2 1/2 years old mod SRF579DLS warranty has run out? I would like Samsung to address the problem ASAP as it is obviously a default in this m

You say that water is draining into the drawers...does the frig have an ice/ice cube maker? If not, there is a drain in the lower part of the frig area that that the water should drain to which then leads to the evaporation pan in the bottom of the frig. Look for food materials and/or ice blocking the path of the water to get to the drain. If it wasn't doing this from the time it was new something has changed.

Where do I put cold cuts and meats I don't want to freeze?

Best place for cold cut meats is the bottom drawer in the refrigerator. It's also good for cheeses. That drawer is the coolest but not freeze place. The upper two drawer are good for veggies and fruits. We put the lever controls in the middle selection for them.

The meat and veg drawers freeze the meat and veggies no matter what setting the temp. is on.

Freezing meat,vegetables. Problem with damper.

For this problem, its indicating towards problem with damper assembly.----------

The working procedure of this unit is as follows: --- The compressor starts then it cools the freezer section. When the freezer reaches its cooling level the defrost cycle starts functioning. In this cycle the fan in the freezer section starts running and the cool air in the freezer section is passed to the fridge section and the fridge section gets cold. The air from freezer to refrigerator passes from the section, in that section the damper is located. ----------- The damper is operated by a motor.Its a complete damper assembly with motor included in it.--The damper has door.Which closes and open with the help of motor.In your case the damper door is remained open, its not closing.Due to this the cool air from freezer section is running in to fridge section non-stop.Due to this the vegetables and other food in the bottom drawer freezing.--------- In this problem the damper assembly needs to be replaced.---------------

You can get required parts from online sites like: --- www.repairclinic.com or from searspartsdirect online site.

----------- This should help. Thanks.Helpmech.

The temperature for the top portion is reading 38 degrees, however we often find vegetables partially frozen in the produce drawer. The icemaker continues to function but the filtered water spigot will not...

turn your unit up to 40 degrees, by the time the upper portion hits 38 degrees the bottom is close to 6 degrees colder than the upper, by physics cold air is heavier and falls, plus w/o a fan down there it will freeze quicker,just like a cold night outside with no wind to speak of,try this once,also you may want to shuffle the food around the refrig box and try different levels, iI know that the veggies belong in the lower crisper drawer usually though

Why are my veggies freezing even thought the temp is set to 40?

Most fridges have crisper drawers that have a selection lever on either the front or side of the drawer that allows you to select eiher veggies or meat. Veggie setting is supposed to keep the crisper drawer warmer, while Meat setting makes it the coldest possible.

If you don't have the selector slide levers, I would suggest you use the highest possible crisper drawer available, as the lower in the frdge compartment you go, the colder the air will be. That should resolve the problem you're having, other than lowering the fridge temp setting slightly.

You might notice a cold air exchange vent next to your crisper, which supplies cold air from the freezer section into the fridge section, so that could be contributing to the colder temps in the crisper where you keep your veggies.

Hope you find this Very Helpful and best regards!

Amana bottom freezer model #BX21TW purchased in 1996

this particualr refrig is notorious for this. check your controls ( your freezer control as well set to 4 max) any higher and the refrig is running longer, generating more cold then needed, behind the left hand crisper is a few slots( the fresh air return) by default the coldest spot in refrig, i usuallly would reccomend to my cust not to keep high water or thin walled vegies in there such as carrots cukes tom and lettuce, perfect beer and fresh /frozen defrosting meat to be though, if you ever looked at the newest bottom freezers they've pushed up the drawers and added a deli pantry, running the width of frig
