Refrigerator is freezing our food
We have a Norcold 6 cu. ft freezer /fridge. Is 10 years old. The refrigerator was so cold that it blew the top off a can of pop. What could be causing this pls?

Thermistor is the temp sensor in the food compartment....that is what the thermostat uses to control fridge temp
Majority of fridge models will go into continuous cooling cycle when the thermistor fails (or falls off fin and hangs down)
Thermistor measures the FIN Temp---W/O that feedback the thermostat doesn't know food compartment is COLD.
Thermistor.....that is issue
IF fridge uses an 'Auto Temp Control' then sliding thermistor Up/Colder or DOWN/Warmer
Sliding thermistor (UP/DOWN) on the fin can affect overall temp by few degrees IF the fridge model does NOT have adjustable temp settings
Doesn't have same affect on those with adjustable temp settings...those temp settings are pre-set and just use the fin temp as sensor for that pre-set temp
