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?

Thermostats on fridges with adjustable temp settings are pre-set at factory for specific temp range and calibrated for those temps based on OEM position of thermistor on fin.
Thermistor just senses the fin temp so when the pre-set temp is reach the thermostat shuts off 'heating'
Auto Temp Control uses the thermistor as the setting for temps.
Moving thermistor UP/Colder (warmer fin) thermostat continues 'heating cycle' until temp is reached .....longer heating cycles
Moving thermistor DOWN/WARMER (colder fin) thermostat continues 'heating cycle' until temp is reached.....shorter heating cycles
Overall affect is 6*F-8*F
