I would first try replacing the control in the fridge. If that doesn't remedy the situation, I would try replacing the thermostat next.

SOURCE: ffa70 hotpoint fridge freezer

Adjust the temperature control for the freezer to a normal setting. Fast freeze is only for when new products are put in that need to be frozen. This locks the system into a continuous run mode and could be responsible for the freezing condition in the refrigerator section. Check the temperatures with a thermometer as the sensor for the freezer temperature could be bad causing the light to come on.

SOURCE: my frdge compartment is freezing

Pehaps the damper door motor is burned out or the damper door is just stuck open causing to much air to flow into fridge side. Damper door is located at the very most top-back-left corner of the "fridge" side.... goodluck...

SOURCE: freezer not freezing food and fridge not staying cold enough

Check the compressor with a volt meter, if the compressor is getting proper voltage then check the relay. But this sounds like a problem with the compressor

The food is freezing on the fridge side of my Whirpool Estate model TS25CGXTD.

The fridge gets its cold air from the freezer through a vent(damper) between the freezer and fridge.The fan in the freezer blows air through it. Make sure this fan is running. You may have to hold the door switch in for it to run. There is a flap you adjust with the fridge temp. control. Make sure it's opening and closing when you adjust the fridge temp.
The problem could be the electronic control if you have one or the mechanical linkages.

Ge fridge GSS25LFGww, fridge part freezing food

Hi, Change the controls back to normal settings. Make sure the freezer is getting 0 to 5 above. If the freezer is getting cold enough, try and turn the cold control to 1 and see if the refrigerator shuts off. It sounds like the cold control in not working properly and will need to be replaced. NOTE: The freezer temp has to be right temp or the fresh food side will not work proper.
I hope this helps. Please let me know if I can assist you further.

We have a whirlpool freezer on top but the bottom of the fridge is freezing

Set both freezer and fresh food controls to their mid position.
If after 24 hours the temp is still too cold replace the thermostat aka cold control.
