Our new Frigidaire side by side refrigerator/freezer is freezing meats and vegetables in the chill and crisper drawers. What are the proper temperatures to set the 'fridge and freezer at - the installers set the 'fridge at 37F and the freezer at OF.

Question edited to add a few uppercase letters as needed.

Some Coldspot 106 models feature in-door ice and water dispensers, which allow users to choose between cubed or crushed ice and chilled water.

The refrigerator includes about 15.3 cubic feet of space and has glass shelves; on some models, these slide out for easy access. The unit also includes convertible vegetable crisper and meat drawers and covers for the same. The drawers have their own temperature controls, and the crisper drawer includes a humidity controller. A shallow inserted vegetable tray completes the crisper drawer, adding space to store delicate vegetables above heavier ones.

The freezer is around 5.4 cubic feet and includes wire storage bins and baskets; on some models, these tip out to improve access.
Both doors, the crisper, and the ice/water dispenser each include a light bulb. The dispenser uses a heavy-duty 10-watt bulb, and the other bulbs are all 40-watt appliance bulbs.

This is an issue with the convection system in the refrigerator, while the cold air trapped withing the crisper drawer remains and the temperature of the moisture in the area drops below the freezing point, the water content acts as a cover and thereafter enables the vegetables to freeze. A slight rearrangement of the utensils within the refrigerator solved the problem

I have Ge GSS25XSQA SS side by side and the food in the refrigerator drawers (crisper and meat) are freezing. Also the ice dispenser is frozen closed. The water dispenser still works.
Want can I do to fix it. Would dirty coils have anything to do with this?

look down at the bottom crisper and there should be an air control that lets more or less air in from the freezer section. close this control down so that most of the air stays in the freezer. some models may say meats(colder) and vegetables(warmer).

some models the control in the down position opens up the vent more allowing it to get colder and in the up position closes the vent down more allowing less cold air into the refrigerator. you can remove the crisper and experiment with the control.

Hi: This Wide by side is like all other side by sides as to how it stores the water. Storage will be behind the crisper or meat keeper in the form of a coil of tubing or a bladder to store the water. Pretty simple. The length of tubing running from the storage to the dispenser will not be chilled. Some refrigerators do this better than others. Try setting the ref. or meat keeper a little colder. Watch your vegetables so they don't freeze. Rare, but it's possible... Older homes (before dispensers,) when fridges just had ice makers, would tap into the hot water line for ice to freeze faster and be clearer. I know this sounds crazy but it's true. I lived in an older home and in the winter the hot water would always freeze first. I know this solution sounds lame but there really is nothing much to go wrong with the water chilling. Pull your meat keeper out and look at the reservoir and see how cold it is. Good luck, Jeff

I've had the same issue with an Amana BX21TL. In my case, the problem was that the various air flow adjustments were all directing the cold air to the bottom of the fridge, underneath the vegetable crispers.

What I've done to fix this was:
1- Made sure there was a tight seal between the vent opening at the back of the fridge (at about mid-height) and the rubber/plastic duct that directs air to the meat/cheese drawer.
2- Made sure that the adjustable opening at the back of the meat/cheese drawer was fully open.
3- Made sure that the adjustable opening at the back of both vegetable crispers were fully open.

Hope this helps.

Absolutely lower the setting.

If you have a side by side model you need to look at the refrigerator compartment wall on the left of the bottom drawer and move the slide control to the warmer/fruit/vegitable setting instead of the meat setting.
I hope this helped. Please rate my help or ask for more help please. supertechks

this particualr refrig is notorious for this. check your controls ( your freezer control as well set to 4 max) any higher and the refrig is running longer, generating more cold then needed, behind the left hand crisper is a few slots( the fresh air return) by default the coldest spot in refrig, i usuallly would reccomend to my cust not to keep high water or thin walled vegies in there such as carrots cukes tom and lettuce, perfect beer and fresh /frozen defrosting meat to be though, if you ever looked at the newest bottom freezers they've pushed up the drawers and added a deli pantry, running the width of frig

to the left of the bottom drawer is a veg/meat slide switch.make sure it is all the way on veg.if it is on meat,it opens a small doorway to the freezer and lets the cold air in and will freeze the food in the bottom drawer.in some cases,you will need to remove the drawer and shelf and then take apart the doorway.ball up some putty and jam it it the hole to completely seal it off
