Frequently Asked Questions About Domestic Refrigerator Repair:

Turning it up, still too cold

I found your email online and thought I'd see if you could give me some advice - My husband and I live in an apartment complex with appliances from the '70's and also with relatively slow maintenance people... before I called them I wanted to see if there was something we could do ourselves. Our refrigerator (freezer I guess) is not frost-free, but it's gone to an extreme now, and is starting to freeze things in the fridge. I've turned up the thermostat so that it's on 8 (out of 10) and still the juice froze overnight. Is there anything to try?

Actually you’re going the wrong way on the control. You didn’t say what kind it was but on all designs----the higher the number on the control, the colder it will get.
