    First try lowering your setting and give that about 24 hours for your fridge to adjust if it still freezes you probably have a defective cold control.

    Does "lower yor setting" mean lower number on the control? I believe this lowers the temperature and the refrig compartment is already freezing. Please advise.

    The control settings are usually the higher the number the colder the setting

    J Costa IS Right::::: Turn control down to about "5", for 24 hrs.

    Thanks for the help. The numbers on this (my neighbors) correspond to degrees F. I recall the freezer could be set from -5 to +5 degrees F. Anyhow, I believe I did reset temperatures to the warmest setting. So on this model a higher setting means warmer. Sorry for being so vague.

    The refrig is working well for 2 days since defrosting the freezer. Damper was probably frozen. Keeping temperature setting warmer in refrig than before. Thanks for help.
