Is Your Fridge Freezing Everything?
If your fridge is freezing food instead of keeping it cool, it’s usually caused by a few common issues. These can include a temperature setting that is too low, blocked vents, a faulty thermostat, a damaged door seal, or a malfunctioning damper control.
1. Temperature Set Too Low
If your fridge is set below 37°F (3°C), items on the back or top shelves may start to freeze. This is one of the most common reasons for overcooling.
✔ Fix: Set your fridge to 37°F and freezer to 0°F (-18°C). Wait 24 hours for temperatures to stabilize.
2. Blocked Air Vents
Cold air flows from the freezer into the fridge through vents. When these vents are blocked by food or containers, cold air can get trapped, causing nearby items to freeze.
✔ Fix: Keep vents clear and avoid overloading shelves.
3. Faulty Thermostat or Temperature Sensor
A malfunctioning thermostat or thermistor can send incorrect signals to the control board, causing the fridge to overcool or run constantly.
✔ Fix: Unplug the fridge for 5 minutes to reset it. If the problem continues, our fridge repair technicians can test and replace the sensor.
4. Damaged Door Gasket
A cracked, warped, or loose door seal allows warm air to enter the fridge. The appliance then works harder to maintain the temperature, which can result in freezing in certain areas.
✔ Fix: Check the gasket for cracks or gaps and replace it if necessary.

Things You Should Know About Fridge Repair
It depends on the problem and the parts needed to complete repairs. The average cost ranges from $200 to $400.
Damaged or broken door seals will make your fridge cycle longer and more often, causing more heat. If there is no problem with the door seals, contact a professional repair technician to help you inspect the problem and proceed with proper repair.
It is recommended to clean your fridge every 3 or 4 months. It also depends on how well you package your food before refrigerating.
It is recommended to defrost your freezer once a year. However, you might need to do it more often depending on how much ice builds up.
You might notice some noises when you buy a new fridge. However, if you hear something out of the ordinary too often, you might need to look into it. Make sure that your fridge is level and that it’s not leaning to one side. If this does not resolve the issue, you should make sure that there is nothing resting or stored on top of the fridge which might cause extra noise due to the normal vibrations of the motor. If neither of these quick fixes works for you, contact a professional technician to diagnose the problem.
You need to clean your fridge regularly to avoid the accumulation of various smells. If you can't seem to get rid of a particular smell, try placing an open box of baking soda on one of the shelves. It will absorb that odor before you know it. You should also try to eliminate any odor source around the fridge.
If your fridge is not getting cold enough, you should hire a professional technician to check various working parts, including the thermostat.
Your fridge and freezer use Freon along with other substances that deplete the ozone, so it is better to hire a professional technician to drain the substances from the appliance before you get rid of it. You can also contact recycling companies to collect your fridge and ensure proper recycling procedures are followed.
Your fridge should be set to 32-40° F (0-4 degrees Celsius) in order to keep your food fresh and ensure that the appliance is in good order.
