Ah... where is that manual when you need it! Actually, the internet is WONDERFUL for such emergencies! I found a manual on the FixYa site for you in pdf format. It will be easier to find on your computer!
Now to the soluiton...
Generally with the top freezer designs the main thermostat controls the temperature of the freezer (which should be about -18°C or 0°F and the there is a slide control that allows a metered amount of cold air to drop down into the "fresh food" compartment.
As an immediate adjustment, turn the "Fresh Food" slider down 1 number LOWER that what it is set to at the moment. Is fresh food still freezing? Then put it down another number lower.
But you should also check the temperature of the freezer compartment with some appliance thermometer... leave it in for several hours or overnight for a proper reading if you've just added food to the freezer. It should be around -18°C or 0°F If you adjust the freezer, you may have to go back and readjust the fresh food setting.
I hope this helps! Don't forget to download the digital manual!

Hello again,
It's been a few days now... have you managed to adjust these two controls so your food is no longer freezing?
If not, please drop me a line.

is stuck open
SOURCE: food is freezing on our top refrigerator shelves
well i'm not exactly sure what fridge you have but that is usually caused by the what they call a baffle...which is a flap that opens and closes to let the cold air from the freezer to the fresh food side. It sounds as if the baffle is stuck open or moving way too slowly and thus freezing your fresh food. You can find a part number and price at partsselect.com all you need is your model number. Good luck!!

check the damper door between the freezer and refrigerator compartments,it most likely has frozen in the fully open position allowing cold air into refrige compartment all the time,you will see ice build up around the damper door unit,remove the door unit defrost,replace and then see if it moves when you change the refrige cold control
