When a refrigerator freezes food in the fresh food section, it can mean the appliance is having a hard time controlling how it circulates cold air. This generally occurs due to the temperature control setting being too low, blocked air vents, false readings from the thermistor, a stuck open air damper, or an internal failure in the control system.
You might first notice things like your lettuce freezing, milk getting icy, fruits getting hard, or drinks suddenly getting slushy when your fridge is too cold. These refrigerator temperature problems may seem minor, but small problems like these can easily ruin food and affect the cooling ability of your fridge.
Some issues can be fixed by adjusting the settings, moving food away from vents, and cleaning the coils. But if freezing keeps coming back, it’s best to contact Universal Appliance Repair to get the problem properly diagnosed and fixed.
