My 3 year-old refrigerator (freezer on top) suddenly began freezing some of the food in the fridge portion. Not all food is frozen. I increased the temperature from 37 to 40 and more food has frozen since. I unplugged for approximately 10 seconds, but problem persists. Any ideas as to what could be causing problem and how I could go about fixing it?
The fridge gets its cold air from the freezer through a vent between the freezer and fridge.The fan in the freezer blows air through it. There is a flap you adjust with the fridge temp. control. Make sure it opens and closes when you adjust the temp of fridge.
Here’s a diagram of the parts of your controls and dampers.

How do I remove the ribbon cable from the old control panel–does it just pull off? I don’t want t damage it!

Hi WoodChuckie,
I can’t make much sense of this schematic. Could you tell me which part number is the culprit?
I have a Kenmore "Elite" Model# 106.74204401. Food is freezing in the refrigerator compartment. And there’s a clicking noise up inside, from what would be the "ceiling" of the compartment.
Thanks in advance,
Chuck
