Food in our refrigerator is freezing solid in the refrigerator compartment if it is placed halfway back or all the way to the back on a shelf. Salsa, for example, is frozen solid! We had the thermostat replaced two months ago, and it seemed a bit better, but is now doing it again. Any ideas? The refrigerator is 9 years old, model mtb2456.
Been there, done that. You need to have a new computer board installed in the fridge near the top. Ours got hit by static lightning ang blew two of them in two years. When they go out, the defrost cycle fails and Ice builds up in the freezer in the back middle. Take the back vover off in the freezer and you'll see it packed with ice since the defroster is not getting the signal to defrost. order a new computer board, install it in the top of the fridge side, in the back, above all those controls on the back right side in a white case to hold the board. defrost the ice by using a hair dryer and letting all the water drain out and get it dry. Those PC boards do not like static at all
Sounds like the damper or damper belt may be at fault. The cold air enters the refer compartment through the damper in the back. If that damper is not controled to close/open as needed it is likely stuck fully open all the time. That will let cold air in no matter what the t-stat says. See if you can view with a mirror and see if the damper "blinds" are fully open. If the t-stat is turned all the way down the dampers should close, as less cold air is needed. Then, as the t-stat is turned up, the dampers open to let in cold air from the freezer compartment. Let us know what you find and we can go from there.
My amana refrigerator freezes everything from eggs to vegies right to the bottom drawers. Can someone tell me what is wrong?Model TG 18V1W with top freezer.
Kenmore side by side, freezing my produce and eggs. Ice build up around controls in the back. Will the cost of a compresser or t-stat be worth saving this 16 year old appliance?
On our frij where the frij on top, freezer on bottom, it turns out there is a fan that blows down to keep the freezing air in the freezer that went on the fritz. Part cost $AU70, call out fee was $AU121 from Fisher and Paykel authorised service tech.

I can tell you if it can be fixed by you or if you need service. Just answer a few questions as we go through this. Pull away from wall and remove the lower panel. Feel top of compressor and see if too hot to keep your hand there or cool. Let me know if freezer fan and fan below are running. Answer those and that will help me answer your questions, Thanks Sea Breeze

Food is freezing in cripers and on bottom shelf. I have also noticed that the hole in freezer drain pan does not line up perfectly with drain tube and it forms a frozen lake of ice under freezer floor (plastic tray part number 2172565). I have defrosted the frig many times but the problem returns a week or so later.
I have the same problem. I have removed the bottom shelf, chipped away the ice and cleaned and defrosted and it does it again in a couple of weeks. I tried heeping the dampers completley closed on the doors and it still hasn't helped.

I have a kenmore top/bottom fridge. The frezzer is on the top and works fine. A few weeks ago i pulled it out to clean the grates on the back with a vacume. Now about once a week everything in the fridge is frozzen..i have the setting on the lowest it will go without shutting it off..
Is there anything i can replace? could i have done something by cleaning it out the back?
Thanks,Mike
