If the food inside your refrigerator is frozen or starting to ice over, the appliance is usually not reading the temperature correctly, thus overcooling the interior. This How.com.vn guide will teach you why your refrigerator is freezing food, walk you through simple DIY troubleshooting steps and fixes, and help you determine when to call for help.
Why Your Refrigerator Freezes Food
If the food in your refrigerator is freezing, there may be food blocking the temperature sensor or air vents. If you have an ice maker, make sure it's connected to the water supply or powered off. Check the seal around the door for damage, clean the coils, and let hot food cool before storing.
