Obviously, they're supposed to keep your food fresh but mine has been freezing my food recently. And, no, I didn't put my food in the freezer. Thursday night, I wanted to make a salad for dinner and when I took out a tomato and some lettuce, both were frozen. The lettuce was covered with ice and the tomatoes were like snow balls. Last night, I wanted to make ravioli, except for that the red sauce had frozen to a block of ice in the jar. My roommate also has oranges at the bottom that are like rocks. I've tried defrosting the food in a microwave. It worked for the rest sauce, but not for the tomatoes. I haven't attempted an orange yet.

Now, I know refrigerators aren't supposed to do this. My mother's refrigerator, from the late '70s, gets ice at the back and top when not cleaned out enough but it doesn't freeze your food. Can any of you help me? I can't afford to be wasting food because it freezes.

it isn't working very well:\ohwell:

obviously the temperature is not being spread out evenly. maybe the fridge is too full or needs defrosted(if it doesnt do so anyway?) or the fridge is just dying.

ask you landlord for a new one cause the old one is fucking up

see if you can get the thermostat fixed. unfortunately the thermostat in my good fridge blew up, and could not be fixed. it too decided to freeze everything in the food compartment. i am now using the crappy old fridge that we picked up second hand for $50.

How should a fridge thermostat be? The one in my mother's fridge has degrees on it, but mine has numbers from 1 to 6. I don't know if that means 1 is the coldest or if 6 is.

look where is it and lower it if it is on 6. in my opinion 1 is not the coldest...

when I drive my car, I start with the first gear and then the others in order to increase my speed. should be the same with your fridge...

6 is probably the coldest. you could try setting it to 3 or 4. however, if the thermostat is broken it won't matter how you set it.

It was set on 4 before, so I moved it down to 2. Things seem to be better now. I put new veggies in there last night and they're fine. My roommate's oranges now feel soft, too.

I think we need to ask Rocket what the correct temperature for a fridge should be !
