Greetings - first post! I have a Kenmore Coldspot 106.58582892 refridgerator purchased in 1999. Recently, it seems whatever we put in the two lower crisper drawers freezes. The rest of the fridge compartment is fine, just the two crisper drawers. I tried setting the humidity levels with the little lever on the drawers but didnt make any difference. Any thoughts?

Soooo... what is the temperature in the "good" section of the Fridge ? ... and the Freezer tempearature ? If you have a Harbor Freight Store near you, click on picture $ 4.99 sometimes on sale ...

Make sure the meat pan slide control on the left side of the liner is set to veggies (the warmer setting), and not meat (much colder).

RegUS_PatOff - Okay - I see where you're going with this - measure the temps! So be it: Freezer = -20oF Fridge (top shelf) = +32oF Crisper (bottom) = +26oF These are with the refridgerator setting at "2" out of possible "6" (which is coldest). Cold air balance set to 1 past middle (i.e. more cold air to freezer than fridge) Possible thermostat problem? Chat_in_RI: Its on veggies setting , not meat, though it often gets bumped out of either position. I've never really seen this to make much difference though

Problem fixed!  For whatever reason I decided to turn the temperature control all the way to the right (to "6" - the coldest) to see if the compressor clicked on (it did). I then turned it back to "2". When I checked temps again in the morning I had this:Freezer = 0oF Fridge = +42oF bottom crisper = +36oF This is on the same "2" setting that earlier showed temps ~10o lower. The fruit is no longer freezing in the crisper  All I can figure is that working the control must have fixed the problem. Who'd uh thunk?Thanks everyone for your help!

It may be a "hokey" Temperature Control, and may act up again anytime.
