why does my fridge side of my fridge freezer keep freezing food ?

Hi, I have a american whirlpool freidge freezer model number s20DRSS33-A/G 8586158152020. After a week of me turning on the fridge freezer I have found that the fridge is freezing the contents of my fridge from half way down, its even froze the water pipe that sits at the back if the fridge. do u think that replacing the thermostat would solve the problem? many thanks miss steward

    Hi there, it's likely that the thermostat is the problem, although it could be the seal too. First make sure that the seal is sealing fully all the way round the door when you close the fridge - if it isn't, you'll need a new seal. If your seal is OK, remove the temperature control knob and replace - it could be the knob has come loose. If that doesn't work, then it's probably the thermostat that's gone.
