        Why is the fridge part freezing all my food?
        ByOct 18, 2026
        1 Answer | 
        Answer This Question

        We regret that you are encountering an issue with food freezing in the refrigerator section of your Whirlpool® Refrigerator. Please review the following professional troubleshooting tips: https://youtu.be/mgfqB6pf6vI 1. Temperature Controls Adjustment Temperature controls are factory-preset to the "mid setting" for regular household use. If adjustment is needed: Wait at least 24 hours between adjustments before rechecking the temperature. To make the refrigerator colder, adjust the control to the next higher setting. To make the refrigerator less cold, adjust the control to the next lower setting. Note: Control panels vary by model. Please refer to your Owner's Manual for specific instructions. https://youtu.be/WPkHAU4z06I 2. Air Vent Obstruction Proper temperature requires adequate airflow between the freezer and refrigerator compartments. Locate the vents in both compartments and ensure nothing is blocking the airflow around the shelving or the back wall. Items placed directly in the cold airflow may freeze. Avoid placing temperature-sensitive items (like eggs and liquids) in these areas. For more information, please refer to: information.https://producthelp.whirlpool.com/Refrigeration/Full-Size_Refrigerators/Product_Info/Tips_and_Tricks/How_to_Check_the_Air_Vents_for_Blockage_-_Ensuring_Proper_Air_Flow 3. Airflow Control Setting The Airflow control, located on the back wall of the freezer, regulates air movement between compartments. When first plugging in the refrigerator, turn the Airflow control to the Recommended setting. If you adjust the control to temporarily increase cold airflow, be sure to return it to the recommended setting once the desired performance is achieved to maintain optimum efficiency. 4. Garage-Ready Refrigerator Setting If your model includes a "garage-ready" or "garage-mode" setting: Room Temperature 38°F to 55°F: Set the airflow knob to the garage-ready setting. Room Temperature Above 55°F: Set the control to the recommended temperature setting. 5. Refrigerator Level It is important to ensure the refrigerator is level for proper operation. Check that the floor under the refrigerator is level; shims may be needed otherwise. Refer to your Owner's Manual or Installation Instructions for specific leveling information for your model. If these steps do not resolve your concerns, please feel free to reach out to us through any of the following options: Facebook: https://tinyurl.com/Whirlpool-Facebook Instagram: https://tinyurl.com/Whirlpool-Instagram Live Chat: https://www.whirlpool.com/services/contact-us.html (Tuesday - Friday, 8 AM - 6 PM ET) USA Customer Service: 1-800-253-1301 (Monday - Friday, 8 AM - 6 PM ET) We look forward to connecting with you soon!

                      We completely understand how frustrating and disappointing it is when a refrigerator fails after only two years, especially when faced with a major component failure like a dead compressor and such a high repair estimate. We strive to provide durable and reliable products, and we sincerely apologize that this experience fell far short of your expectations. We want to help look into this further for you.

                        Bad Decision
                        This was the worst purchase I ever made. Haven’t had a year. I bought quickly to replace fridge in a house I bought. The freezer make weird noises like water being surged through. There is ice forming on ceiling inside freezer. The light bulb went out. The bulb is in a precarious location. Thinking of giving this away and buying a different one.

                        Thank you for sharing your insights with us. We value your time and would like to look into the concerns with ice forming inside the freezer in your Whirlpool® Refrigerator. Please see the following for some troubleshooting tips: Possible Solutions Was the door swing reversed? If the doors were removed during installation, ensure they were properly installed. If the doors were not installed correctly, it could cause the following: Doors are unable to close properly or seal properly Frost build-up or moisture concerns Temperature fluctuation Doors not properly aligned Door switch is unable to actuate correctly If you are experiencing any of these issues, please refer to the Owner's Manual or Installation Instructions for specific installation information. Were the doors left open for long periods? Frost is likely to build up if the door is left open for some time, allowing humidity to enter the freezer. Ensure the door closes completely and is not blocked by something between the door gasket and the cabinet. Are the doors opened frequently? Frequent door openings can let in humid room air. Keeping door openings to a minimum will help, but may not eliminate frost or ice in the freezer. During months of high humidity (especially if a home is not air-conditioned), it is reasonable to see some frost and sweating on the interior walls or food packages. Are the doors sealing correctly? An improper seal of the gaskets on the refrigerator or freezer doors could also cause humidity to form. Check the seal around the outside doors and the freezer door to make sure nothing is obstructing the gasket seal. Are the air vents blocked? Blocked vents can cause a couple of different issues, including moisture build-up or excessive frost. To help the moisture build-up, you need to allow room for proper air flow between the freezer and refrigerator compartments. Cold air enters and exits the refrigerator compartment from the freezer compartment through vents. Depending on your model, these vents are in different locations.

                          Nice fridge
                          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nice refrigerator, lots of door space!. A must have for me was the "cheese" drawer and this model has one, it's a little small but it's there. The produce drawers are a little flimsy and I dont see the humidity regulatot holding up for very long. The major deficit is the glue on the molding, what a sloppy mess.

                            I bought this two years ago because of the size and features but to say that I am disappointed is a huge understatement. This unit is in my apartment and has always been in AC. How could this possibly be right and what can be done about it. It must be defective.

                              I like these refrigerator and have purchased many for our apartment units with smaller kitchens. The larger 30" models might only give a slightly larger cu ft - but these are ample for lower occupancy units and many of these kitchens have tight spaces for fridges - these are better in terms of look, lighting, etc.
