If your fridge is turning milk into slush or vegetables into ice, you’re not alone. A refrigerator freezing food is one of the most common appliance problems homeowners face – and it’s often fixable without replacing the entire unit.
At Capital Appliance Repair Winnipeg, we specialize in fridge repair and appliance repair services. 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’s usually due to one of a few common issues. Most often, it’s caused by a temperature setting that’s too low, blocked vents, a faulty thermostat, a damaged door seal, or a malfunctioning damper control. At Capital Appliance Repair Winnipeg, we specialize in identifying the problem and providing fast, reliable fridge repair and appliance repair services to restore your refrigerator’s performance.
If your fridge temperature is below 37°F (3°C), it can freeze items near the back or top shelf.
✔ 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 vents are blocked, cold air becomes trapped and overcools nearby items.
✔ Fix: Keep vents clear and avoid overstuffing shelves.
A malfunctioning thermostat or thermistor can send incorrect readings to the control board, causing overcooling.
✔ Fix: Unplug the fridge for 5 minutes to reset it. If freezing continues, our fridge repair technicians can test and replace the sensor.
A cracked or loose door seal lets in warm air, forcing the fridge to overwork and freeze food.
✔ Fix: Inspect the gasket for cracks or gaps. Replace it if necessary.
