Possible Causes

Thermostat or sensor out of calibration, Air vents blowing directly on food, Temperature set too low, Faulty control board

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug before accessing sensors or control boards.

Steps to prevent freezing:

  • 1. Adjust temperature: Raise the fridge temperature setting by one or two steps and monitor for 24 hours.
  • 2. Reposition food: Keep delicate items (salad, fruit) away from direct airflow vents and the coldest areas (usually near the back or top).
  • 3. Check sensor placement: Ensure the fridge temperature sensor is correctly clipped in place and not touching the evaporator directly.
  • 4. Sensor/control fault: If freezing persists despite higher settings, the sensor or control board may be faulty and should be tested and replaced as needed.
