My fridge freezes everything

35 degrees Fahrenheit equivalent to 1.6 degrees Celsius / Centigrade

Most fridges have only a plastic dial located somewhere in the rear of the food space inside the fridge that simply says "cooler" or "warmer" Turn this dial to change the temperature. If you want to know what the temperature is you will have to put a thermometer inside the fridge for a few minutes , open the door, and quick read the temp before the thermometer warms up. I keep a cheap thermometer with a large dial with a red indicator inside my freezer all the time and that way I can see how cold it is every time I open the freezer.

The settings are "relative". Someone with this fridge in Montana may need to run the same fridge with different settings than someone in Texas to get the same temperatures.

Many manufacturers recommend that the fresh food compartment should be 34 degrees F, and the freezer -10 to 0 degrees F. To set this properly, place a thermometer in the freezer (that can display temperatures as low as the desired temperature). Adjust the thermometer for the correct freezer temperature before going on to the fridge. A fully stocked freezer could take 12 hours or more for temperatures to stabilize after making changes to the thermostat. Once the -10 to 0 degree temperature has been achieved, set the fresh food compartment temperature.

Place a thermometer (that can display below freezing) in a 6 (or so) oz flexible plastic cup of water and place on a shelf in the fridge. A glass of water could break if the temperature gets below 32 degrees if the water turns to ice. The water acts as a buffer to rapidly changing temperatures when the door is opened to read the thermometer. If the fridge is "full", allow 24 hours for the temperature to stabilize before making changes.

If the fridge and freezer are empty, changes may be seen in just a few hours or less. Otherwise, wait the 12 / 24 hours for the freezer / fridge compartments.

I hope this helps and good luck!

The highest number is the coldest setting.When you fill it up with food to freeze , set the freezer to the coldest and after everything is frozen .set the control to the middle.

Adjust the fridge compartment temp to a higher setting it should be located at the top of the frige inside. Should be a dial that has numbers on it this dial needs to be turned to higher number to prevent this from happening.\

Good Luck

The higher the number, the colder.

the problem is your thermostat in your frig.the dial with numbers on it.it is no longer sensing properly and theres nothing you can do but replace.that is as long as your dial is not broken[the plastic pice with the numbers] God bless ,tom

Hi. thanks for the question. # 9 is the high, 1 is low. and it will run for 24 hrs to get on track .thanks the appliance doc

I have a danby mini fridge and freezer and noticed the same problem. The temperature dial has NO NUMBERS ON IT! it just has a strip that goes from light to dark blue. That's it. I looked in the manual and it doesn't say anywhere which way is colder...it makes sense that the darker the blue the colder the temperature but why keep us guessing?

fridge has timer to adjust for defrosting, but the not working working you to manual defrost the unit to avoid ice formation inside the fridge.
