Salad, Drinks or Dairy Turning to Ice in the Fridge?

Why Is My Fridge Freezing Food?
The fridge side gets too cold when the thermostat is set low or its contacts stick, when the damper between freezer and fridge stays open, or when a temperature sensor tells the control board the fridge is warmer than it is. Food pushed against the rear vent also freezes on an otherwise normal fridge.
These are control faults, so they are fixed without any gas work. Our fridge repairs technicians test the thermostat, damper and sensor and replace the one that has failed. Book a repair online or on WhatsApp.
Signs the Fridge Section Is Too Cold
Vegetables icing in the drawer
Salad and other watery foods freeze when they should only chill.
Drinks or dairy turning solid
Milk, soft drinks or leftovers freeze on the main shelves.
Only one shelf is affected
The shelf in front of the vent freezes while the rest is normal.
Still freezing on the warmest setting
The thermostat or damper needs testing.
Common Causes of Food Freezing
We check the setting first, then the parts that control the fridge temperature.
- Thermostat set too cold
- Thermostat contacts stuck closed
- Damper stuck open on frost-free models
- Temperature sensor fault
- Control board fault on digital models
- Food blocking the rear cold-air vent
When to stop using the appliance
Switch the appliance off at the wall if you notice a burning smell, smoke, sparking, exposed wiring, repeated breaker trips or water near electrical parts. Leave electrical covers, high-voltage parts and the sealed refrigeration system to a technician, then call or WhatsApp 0719 227 718 and we will arrange an assessment.
A Quick Check Before You Book
Turn the fridge thermostat one step warmer, move food away from the rear vent, and give it a day to settle. If food still freezes on a middle setting, the thermostat, damper or sensor needs testing.
How We Diagnose Over-Cooling
The technician measures the fridge temperature on each shelf, tests the thermostat or sensor with a meter and checks that the damper opens and closes as it should.

Frequently Asked Questions About Fridge Freezing Food
Why is my fridge freezing my vegetables and drinks?
The fridge section is colder than it should be. A thermostat set too low or stuck, a damper stuck open, or a faulty temperature sensor are the usual causes.
I turned the dial warmer and food still freezes. What next?
If food still freezes on a middle setting after a day, the thermostat, damper or sensor has failed. Move food away from the rear vent and book a visit.
What temperature should my fridge be?
Between 3°C and 5°C for the fresh-food section. A simple fridge thermometer on the middle shelf is the easiest way to check.
Is a fridge that freezes food expensive to fix?
Usually not. Thermostats, dampers and sensors are among the less expensive fridge repairs. We diagnose first and quote before any work starts.
