Possible Causes

Temperature set too low, Faulty fridge temperature sensor, Damper stuck open, Poor food placement near vents

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Simple adjustments:

  • Increase the fridge temperature setting by 1–2 degrees and monitor for 24 hours.
  • Move sensitive items (like vegetables and drinks) away from direct airflow vents.

Component checks:

  • If overcooling persists, the fridge sensor may be misreading; replacing the NTC sensor often resolves this.
  • Inspect the air damper to ensure it is not stuck fully open; replace if necessary.
