Why Does The Food In My Fridge Freeze. If your refrigerator is all of a sudden freezing your food and drinks the temperature setting for the fridge has been inadvertently set TOO LOW or TOO COLD. If your refrigerator lets you set the exact temperature set it to 40 F or a little below.
This is a common problem that can lead to your refrigerator freezing food. If your food is freezing then it is possible that your fridges temperature setting was accidentally set too low. Freezing is more likely to occur when the refrigerator does not have enough food to absorb the cold air.
Refrigerators need to be well-stocked to absorb all of the cold air being vented into the cavity.
A component of your fridge may be faulty. The optimum temperature range for storing fresh food is between 38 - 40 degrees Fahrenheit. If the fridges temperature dial is set too low then the fridge may get too cold and begin to freeze food. If your refrigerator is filled with too much food the cold air will not be able to circulate properly and will become concentrated in particular areas inside the appliance which may cause some of the items to freeze.
