Just so, why does my fridge keep freezing things?
4 Reasons a REFRIGERATOR will FREEZE FOOD and items in it: 1 – The temperature for the refrigerator has been set TOO LOW or Set warmer. Most common reason. 2 – If the coils on your fridge are dirty or dusty, then the compressor needs to work harder and longer to keep the freezer temperature at freezing temperature.
Furthermore, why is my fridge freezing at the bottom? Freezing occurs when the refrigerator does not have enough food to absorb the cold air. If foods in the crisper, deli, and/or snack drawers are freezing: Make sure the bins are at least 1/2 full. If the drawer has adjustable temperature and items are freezing, adjust the drawer to a lower setting.
Keeping this in view, how do I stop my fridge from freezing?
