If your fridge is turning milk into slush or vegetables into ice, you are not alone. A refrigerator freezing food is one of the most common appliance problems and it can often be fixed without replacing the entire unit. At Capital Appliance Repair Montréal, we specialize in fridge and appliance repairs. Our technicians identify the source of the problem and provide fast, reliable repairs to get your refrigerator working perfectly again.
If your fridge is freezing food instead of keeping it cool, it is usually caused by a few common issues. This can include a temperature setting that is too low, blocked vents, a faulty thermostat, a damaged door seal, or a malfunctioning damper control.
If your fridge is set below 37°F (3°C), items on the back or top shelves may start to freeze. This is one of the most common causes of overcooling.
✔ Fix: Set your fridge to 37°F and freezer to 0°F (-18°C). Wait 24 hours for temperatures to stabilize.
Cold air flows from the freezer into the fridge through vents. When these vents are blocked by food or containers, the cold air gets trapped, causing nearby items to freeze.
✔ Fix: Keep vents clear and avoid overstuffing shelves.
A malfunctioning thermostat or thermistor can send incorrect readings to the control board, causing the fridge to overcool or run constantly.
✔ Fix: Unplug the fridge for 5 minutes to reset it. If the problem continues, our fridge repair technicians can test and replace the sensor.
A cracked, warped, or loose door seal allows warm air to enter the fridge. The appliance then works harder to maintain the temperature, which can lead to freezing in certain areas.
✔ Fix: Inspect the gasket for cracks or gaps. Replace it if necessary.
