Refridgerator freezing
The refridgerator in our 2004 Wildcat by Forest River is freezing everything in it, but there seems to be no temperature adjuster. What should I do?

Above posts are correct....
If you mean you have no temp setting adjustments on upper panel....an 'Auto Temp Control'
Then you have a Dometic Brand fridge
Inside food compartment on far right fin S/B a clip with a 'thermistor' attached
Thermistor senses fin temp and then T-stat controls heating cycles based on that fin temp
IF thermistor is not in on fin and hanging down the t-stat senses a 'warm' fridge so it tries to cool...continuously because thermistor never reaches 'factory temp control setting'
If thermistor is hanging down put it back in clip and slip clip onto far right fin ---mid-position.
wait 24 hrs and recheck fridge temps.
Too Cold..slide clip DOWN
Not Cold Enough....slide clip UP
On the Dometic non-temp adjustable models moving clip Up/Down will make minor temp adjustments (6*F - 8*F)
Fridge T-stat will continue to attempt cooling if thermistor is also BAD
If BAD.........replace with a Snip-The-Tip thermistor replacement
Snip-The-Tip for Dometic
