The bottom crisper in my refrige freezes my veggies

The bottom crisper in my Kenmore refrigerator freezes my veggies. It even freezes up so bad the drawer won't even open. I tried turning up my thermostat to 39 degrees and this didn't fix the problem. (My milk started going bad at this temp too.) I have tried toggling the lever at the bottom left hand side of the frige from veg to meats and this also did not seem to make a difference. The unit is less than 5 years old. I am sick and tired of my produce getting ruined!! Thanks for any suggestions.

To repair this problem I dont think just toggling a lever is going to work. You need to locate what is suppose to sense the temp in the fridge section and how it stops the air flow to the fridge section. Basically most refrigerators cool in the freezer using the freon coils and transfer the cold to the fridge section using the fan in the freezer. Then your thermostat (temp sensor) stops the air flow by either turning off the fan or closing a small door going to the fridge section. This door is called the baffle and if you put your hand up to it and can still feel air coming thru when the temperature is 39 degrees or lower its not doing its job. With a model number I could help better but my guess is if its not freezing everything only the veggies your thermostat is off or the baffle is unable to close all the way and may have ice or debris in it. Either way I hope this helps.

I have a Jenn air side by side refrig/freezer

Hi rdiorio.
you could have one of many faults, either thermostat, compressor or if electronic maybe that have failed. If the Thermostat starts to fail it can produce eratic readings which freezer the chiller part of cabinet, then it can fail completly. What ever you do remember 240 Volts kills. Use a qualified person when dealing with electrics... Cheers

Vegetables keep freezing in the fridge crispers

You have to heat the coil in the back of the fridge. Take everything out and open up the back, then take a hair dryer and heat the coil. After doing this, adjust the heat settings on the freezer.

Crisper draws are freezing produce. Kenmore Trio 795.77562.600

If you can find the duct work behind the draws you might find an air control, if you have a contract with Sears - you can call them back, the part that was replaced has a Garn.T and or 30 days on service, when you ajust the temps it may sometime act up but has a default and will return to that. Cold air drops down. read the manual that came with the Refrig. Buying a service contract might be the best thing for piece of mind - Sears covers everything, even plactic and paint ( scratches). most everything is plastic in the refrigerators today and are very expensive, 3 doors allow more air into the unit then a 2 door because of the seal between the doors, just 2 pieces of rubber overlapping .
Act on this as fast as you can, 30 days on service goes fast and a service call runs about 75 dollars . Oh ! don't put wet veggies in draw and rap everything with Plastic wrap, veggies only least about 4 /5 days then become soft and lose taste and color.

Refrigerator crisper drawers are freezing veggies

Shut the air flow into the crispers if you can. If not, turn the refrigerator temperature warmer by just a few degrees. The air into the fridge from the freezer is channeled into the crispers.
