My fridge is freezing my fresh food what do i do????

Food freezing in fresh food compartment is most likely a bad thermostat/ control board, or a damper that’s open too much.

Either a faulty thermostat or faulty air damper that controls air flow form freezer to fridge.

Good question. If you have access to a thermometer I would put it into a glass of water and stick it in the fridge. Give it a day and you will now your product temp

Do you just adjust the fresh food side or do you adjust the freezer setting too? Post the model # . does the unit have knobs or buttons for setting temp? Does food freeze in one particular part of the fresh food side or evenly throughout?

the freezing on the lower fresh food area is some times caused by the freezer cold coil freezing up also caused fan noise .( that is where the fan is located . ) the heaters and tefroat terminator need too be ck and repalced if bad ..mm hope this helpt mm feed back pls ..

if freezing food it must be 32 deg or lower . if you need to get fresh food side warmer the adjust tempt . if it will not adjust then the control must be frozen in the open pos and will not close . so replace the cold control . or if more info is needed then i need model # to help mm .. hope this helps .

Merv -

Most manufacturer's fridges are designed for 34 degrees F in the fresh food compartment and 0 degrees F in the freezer compartment. Setting the fresh food compartment to a value lower than 32 degrees will freeze any moisture in foods, fruits and vegetables and freeze water in juices and other beverages resulting in broken containers, exploding cans, etc.

What you need is another freezer. Trying to convert a refrigerator into a freezer is going to be very difficult - especially without ruining it.

Good luck!

hello,
Most times this is a bad cold control, but there are other things to check for. Make sure the condenser fan is working and the coils are not covered with dust. A separated heat exchanger ( small capillary tubing soldered to the large suction line ) can separate from one another and make the fridge run too long. - tape tubing back together. A poor working evaporator fan motor could also make the fridge run too long and freeze - replace the fan motor. An inefficient compressor or refrigeration system could make the fridge run too long and freeze - have a service tech check this out. A misaligned control settings, make sure the air damper and cold control have not been bumped and are out of normal settings. Stuck open air diffusers or air dampers are becoming more and more common for allowing too much air to be blown into the fresh food section and freezing things. On all frost free fridge's the freezer temp air is blown into the fresh food section, if you have "easy" to freeze items ( eggs, veggies in water, etc ) in front of or under where the freezer temp air comes out, they could freeze
Check the cold control, and also the air deflector. As you know, the deflector directs the freezer air toward the front of the frig and the rear of the cold control.

Hope this helpout....

Doors not closing properly making the fridge run too long is something else to check for.

Please read it appears that there are two defrost timers for your refrigerator one for the freezer one for the refrigerator
