Default Refrigerator problem?

Typically, the refrigerator control is the thermostat. Turns the

freezer and fridge.

Oddly, it may help to turn the freezer one number warmer.

Someone finally said it. I was going to
say it, but Stormin did. So I'll
repeat, try turning down the freezer
control a notch. That said, if it is
one of the newer microprocessor
controlled unit, and you are getting the
temps from the control panel, you
probably have to call the repair man. A
friend recently had the same problem
with a microprocessor controlled unit.
The door channeling air from the freezer
to fridge was broken and stuck almost
closed. The repair guy didn't have a
new one with him, so he removed the door
and covered about 1/2 to 2/3 of the
opening with tape, as a temporary fix.
He returned in a few days and installed
the new part.
