    You are probably pushing produce too far back on the shelves.

    If it makes contact with the rear wall of the fridge then it is in contact with the refrigerant circuit which is below freezing.

    Often happens with plastic wrapping etc. (Done it myself - oops)

    I have to agree with Brian as the cold plate is on the inner rear panel of the refrigerator. Any foodstuff touching the back or in close proximity to it with high moisture content like lettuce etc will freeze.

    If that is the case the chances are the stat is set too cold or is faulty. This causes the comp to run either too long or all the time which causes the food to freeze.

    Cheers taz.
