Refrigerator Freezing Food in Fridge Section – Northglenn
Is your refrigerator turning your lettuce into ice or freezing your drinks in the fridge section? This is a common issue that wastes food and signals a temperature control problem. In Northglenn, Tonny’s Appliance Repair can fix it quickly without replacing the entire refrigerator.

Broken temperature control board
-
Malfunctioning thermostat

Cold air leaking from freezer into fridge
