How To Fix A Refrigerator That Freezes Food

As a rule, refrigerators are designed to maintain 36–40 degrees F. in the refrigerator box and 0–5 degrees F. in the freezer box.

If your refrigerator compartment freezes its contents, even when the cold control is set to its lowest setting, the control is probably defective.

Setting the cold control to a lower temperature than is recommended by the manufacturer will only cost you extra in energy dollars and will not get to the root of the problem.

Instead, call an appliance repairperson.
