probably a faulty thermostat as changing settings should make a difference
with fridges ( beverage coolers) the lower the number the colder the setting
have it checked by a technician before making the replace decision
I understand that your Frigidaire refrigerator, model# FRS23KF7AB, is so cold that it is freezing liquids inside the refrigerator area. I also see that you have it set on the warmest setting. First, I suggest setting the controls to the factory setting. Secondly, reset your appliance, by either unplugging it or shutting the power off at your homes circuit breaker, for 3-5 minutes. When power is restored, leave the setting on the factory setting, and give your refrigerator 24 hours to stabilize at the factory setting. I ask that you please follow up with a comment on the post, at your convenience, to advise if further troubleshooting is needed or if your refrigerator status has changed successfully. Hope this is helpful.
Due to the ice on the vent ( damper ) , the damper is probably frozen open , so it will not close , causing the refrig section to keep on getting colder . Put your hand over the vent and feel the air being circulated . Use a hair dryer on the vent for a time and ocassionally feel the vent to see if the vent closes stopping the air flow .
What is your refrigerator cold setting? Try lowering the temp to to the medium setting.
Items in the lower part of the fridge will freeze if the setting is too high. (P.S. Cold air "sinks" so the lower part of the fridge will be colder. Cutting the "number" setting on the fridge does stop air flow though.
make sure the air passages are not blocked with food produts the other fix might be to un plug refrig and let it defrost for a day make sure you leave doors open
you can adjust the control for the freezer side to a colder setting think of the freezer control as a door warmer setting door open farther colder setting door farther closed the fridge control is electric that runs the compresser can turn fridge down to creat more cooling freezer or set freezer to colder setting it is a balancing
act have actually closed freezer control to coldest setting and had items freeze in the fridge side where air from freezer first enters fridge a lower temp in freezer should help ice production
