SOURCE: Wine cooler gets too cold (freezes)

Check your thermostat setting, if the setting is ok then something wrong with your thermostat control.

SOURCE: bottom drawer wall is covered s ice/ top shelf not freezing

Sounds like a defrost system problem. Could be related to defrost timer, heaters or defrost thermostat. Have it serviced.

SOURCE: Fridge and freezer warm at top, colder but not normal on lower shelves

How old is this frig? If it is older that 12-15 years, get a new one. Make sure there is not blockage to keep the air from circulating properly. The vent from the freezer to the cooler should also be free from blockage as well.

SOURCE: My refrigerator freezes everything

Not only the thermostat needs to be considered but the adaptive defrost board and the air damper between compartments. Something happened yesterday and my solution was changed to a clarification request. Sea Breeze

Refrigerator side too cold
refrigerators only have one cooling system and that is for the freezer. The fridge part is cooled by sending a portion of the air from the freezer to the fridge. your fridge thermostat controls a fan that turns on and off as needed. first step is to make sure this is working, and not stuck on. turn your fridge to a somewhat warm no and open the door for a few minutes to allow the cold air out then check and see see if it gets very cold again within say an hour. if it does your fan is always on and you need to repair it. if that is working then you have to play with both freezer and fridge settings. best thing is to get a cheap thermometer and check your freezer temp. it should be around 0 to -5f if it is colder than that frigid air blowing into your fridge too cool the whole area will freeze anything close to the vent. once you have your freezer set then start adjusting your fridge. personally I have mine set at 34f knowing that some things on the top shelf will freeze. but I like my cola's COLD. so I put things like butter that are harder to freeze at that level. but if you don't want anything to freeze then a temp of 37 -39f is correct for your fridge. so it comes down to freezer temp, the amount of time the fan is on, and proximity to the vent. good luck

Food on the top shelf and in the bottom drawer keeps freezing
I'd check the temp control and up the temp abit instead maybe you have it all the way down low at the lowest setting, that will cause the contents to freeze.

Freezing my lettuce in crisper , so how do i change the temperature so my vegetables don't freeze. i do not have a producy manual.
Magtag has dropped the ball on this one... The temp at the top and the bottom of the units are varied. Try turning your temp gauge down just a fraction until the lettuce doesn't freeze. I also suggest getting a temp gauge (cheap) and placing on your top shelf to monitor. Temp should be around 40 degrees.

Admiral upright freezer dripping water inside on top
Hello.
I can help. Once we notice anything different from before we start becoming more aware of small variations. Regarding things on the top shelf warmer than on the bottom, this is always true because, "warm air rises and cold air falls". If you want the top shelf colder turn the thermostat to the next colder setting, always a good idea in the Summer season anyway.

Even though your gasket looks good, a ten year old gasket is not as pliable as a new one resulting in the moisture problem you describe. I would begin by applying a thin coating of vaseline to the gasket once a week for a month. This little trick of the trade will often work. If it doesn't improve the situation do replace the gasket.

Top Shelf Freezing
ok heres something i learned not to long ago about top shelf freezing if you put your more moistend foods up closer to top shelf it will freeze the top half of your freezer the moistend foods with liquid or waters needs to be closer to the bottom

this was WoW to me never knew that when someone mentioned it too me

they also state let freezer thaw down and place foods accordingly by moisture content in the freezer this will keep freezer running accuratly for a long time

try this see if this works for you im sure its this and not actually a problem problem give a 2 week test with freezer rearanged accordingly

i hope this information has helped someway
