I have a problem the fridge itself freezes everything inside of it? I have had it unplugged for 24hrs and wondering what I can do to fix it. Thank You

You have a stuck thermostat, it sounds like. Look at these: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/8010163/Whirlpool%20Refrigerators.zip
You can buy a universal thermostat if it has a regular thermostat. If this is one of the computerized units you have a bad thermistor instead of a bad thermostat, but it can also be a bad control board. You will have to test the thermistor and measure the temperature while checking it with an ohm meter. If you replace a regular thermostat make sure you expose the exact length of capillary tube as was exposed on the old one and it is routed exactly the same. Leave the unused part coiled up behind the thermostat where it cannot touch any wires and make sure there are no sharp bends or it will be ruined.
