I have a GE top freezer refrig that is about 10 years old and the only preoblem is things freeze in the bottom section, lettuce beer, anything from the middle of shelf to back. any suggestions? I turned the dial down to 2 from the normal 5 and coldest 9. i am going crazy with this.

hmmmmm, sounds as if something has gone wrong with the thermostat. I'd have it check out as I am sure that it's costing more in electricity than if it were behaving as it should.

The only other thing is that maybe that's the thermostat to the freezer and not the fridge. Check around and see if there another one. I know mine has two and the one for the fridge is always getting bumped and the setting changed.

The thermostat control is that little thing that you turned down to a 2. There may be another one.

You said the fridge was about 10 years old, did it just start doing this? If it did, it's probably the control. If it's been doing it for years, your husband may be on the right track.

the controls are on one panel. One is a dial for fresh and one is a dial for freezer. Says 5 is normal. I now have it down to 2 and it is still doing it. just had a service tech here for my dryer so i'm scared to death to call about something else. so expensive when you can't do idt yourself.
