My Kenmore refrigerator is freezing food on the fridge side. The freezer seems fine. We tried turning the temperature setting down lower and lower, but it still freezes even at the lowest setting.

While the motor was running I tried turning the setting knob to 0 and felt by the vent on the top left side of the fridge. No air was coming out. I then turned it up all the way and felt again. I could then feel cold air blowing. From what I've read on other posts, that leads me to think the damper is working correctly. At this point I'm not sure what to check next... Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi Benjamin,

This sounds like a bad damper control. Make sure there is no frost build up in the damper or around what can prevent the damper from closing.

If there is nothing wrong, order the control box kit because Frigidaire (who made your refrigerator) does not sell the damper control separate.
