How to Troubleshoot a Frigidaire Electrolux That Is Freezing Over
The Electrolux refrigerator and freezer combo is a side-by-side cooling unit that stores your food at a preset level to maintain the proper temperature for preserving food, but if your food is freezing there may be a problem with your appliance's freezer or refrigerator control. High temperatures result in freezer-burned food and shorten the shelf life of the stored items. A replacement or professional repair is required if your food continues to freeze after troubleshooting the refrigerator. Does this Spark an idea?
