The refrigerator is freezing food in the fridge compartment with the control on 1. I have replaced the defrost timer and the temp control was replaced a few years ago. My son in law replaced the thermostat a couple years ago. I have checked the temp control and it seems to be working properly. I used an ohm meter to check it. I then placed the temp control in a working freezer and it had the correct reading. Any suggestions?

Here are your parts Parts for Frigidaire FRT18TPHW0 Refrigerator - AppliancePartsPros.com[COLOR="Blue"] I have replaced the defrost timer[/COLOR] A defrost problem would have caused the fresh food section to be too warm. [COLOR="Blue"]and the temp control was replaced a few years ago. My son in law replaced the thermostat a couple years ago.[/COLOR] I am assuming both the above are referring to the main temperature control thermostat [COLOR="Blue"]I have checked the temp control and it seems to be working properly. I used an ohm meter to check it. I then placed the temp control in a working freezer and it had the correct reading.[/COLOR] I am not sure how you did the test or how you determined it was OK. Check that the evaporator/freezer fan is running. It should be on whenever the compressor is on. It is required for proper air circulation in the unit. I am assuming that the compressor is cycling normally (not on all the time) though it may run longer than it used to. Odds are that it is a main thermostat problem. |

If the fridg is running constantly, your freezer temperature should be well below zero, just check.
