Kelvinator Fridge Freezing Food
When the fridge compartment freezes your fresh food, the thermostat is likely at fault.
Overview
If your Kelvinator fridge is freezing milk, vegetables and drinks, the temperature is dropping too low. This usually points to a thermostat or temperature sensor fault, or a damper stuck open.
We test the thermostat, sensor and damper motor, and restore correct fridge compartment temperatures so your fresh food stays fresh — not frozen.
