Default Some items in refrigerator are freezing

Thanks all for the suggestions. I'll probably be going there tomorrow
(Friday) to see if I can figure out what the problem is. I'll try looking
for what everyone suggested.

One thing that I am not sure of is why, if some of the problems suggested
are present, the refrigerator section would be colder than normal and cause
freezing rather than warmer than normal. I do see how if the door seal is a
problem maybe the more humid air would freeze easier in the refrigerator
section.

My guess is that I won't be able to figure it out on my own, but I'll post
back here either way just to follow up.

Frigidaire Refrigerator/Top-Mount Freezer, Model Number FRT21P5A.

I got a call from a tenant who is saying that some items in the
refrigerator are freezing up -- milk, vegetables, etc. Apparently,
the freezer part is working fine. However, she said if she turns the
refrigerator temp setting down (from "colder" toward "cold"), things
in the fridge do not get cold enough.

She said this is not an urgent problem, but she thinks it has been
getting worse over the past 6 months and she is concerned that maybe
the refrigerator is getting ready to fail. I am going to head over
there in a day or two.

My question is, does anyone have any suggestions of what I should
look for or try while there? If it is not a simple fix or it needs a
part replaced or something like that, I'll have an appliance repair
person come out. I don't actual refrigerator repairs since I don't
know enough about them. But, if there is something I can try
adjusting or cleaning or whatever, I'd like to give that a try first.

Thanks.
