My 3 year-old refrigerator (freezer on top) suddenly began freezing some of the food in the fridge portion. Not all food is frozen. I increased the temperature from 37 to 40 and more food has frozen since. I unplugged for approximately 10 seconds, but problem persists. Any ideas as to what could be causing problem and how I could go about fixing it?:confused:

This can be caused by a bad thermostat. Malfunctioning damper doors can also cause this.

I can't find your model number so I can't point you to a manual. Maybe you can find it here:

Manage My Home - Find Product Manuals, Search Results - Managemyhome.com (http://www.managemyhome.com/mmh/owner_manuals/search?page=2&query=Kenmore+elite)

I did find it on the sears parts direct site:
