Refrigerator Freezing Items in Crisper Drawer – Westminster

If your fruits and vegetables are turning into ice in the crisper drawer, your refrigerator may be too cold in the wrong places. In Westminster, Tonny’s Appliance Repair fixes this problem by adjusting the airflow, sensors, and components that affect the temperature in the lower refrigerator compartments.

Why Items Freeze in the Crisper Drawer

The crisper is designed to maintain slightly higher humidity and moderate cold. When something malfunctions, cold air can get trapped or redirected—freezing delicate produce.

 Most common causes:

• Broken or stuck air damper near the drawer

• Misplaced food blocking airflow

• Faulty thermistor or temp sensor

• Incorrect fridge temperature setting

• Failed control board regulating airflow

• Poor door seal letting cold air recirculate

• Crisper drawer design flaw in some models

What You Might Notice

• • • Lettuce, cucumbers, and fruits come out frozen or icy

    • Ice crystals inside the drawer

    • Water puddles when items thaw inside

    • Fridge is not overly cold elsewhere

    • Condensation around drawer gaskets

    • Temperature set to normal (e.g., 37°F) but drawer still freezes
