The food freezes when touching the sides of my fridge?
Check and make sure the temperature is set where it should be. Then, check and make sure that the vents are not covered--the inside vents, where the cool air circulates. Lastly, clean the coils--use the vacuum to get all the dust off of them.
Check your refrigerator temperature reading. If temperature is fine, you may have to check your freezer temperatures too.
Ensure your food is not near the refrigerator vents.
The vents between the fridge and freezer are a lot of times in the sides. If your refrigerator temp is set at too low(cold) of a temperature, it can let in too much cold from the freezer. Or if the vents are blocked and don't have the proper flow they will do the same. So... Check your temperature. Clean as necessary.

We have a second fridge downstairs. It freezes everything I put in there unless it is a very hot, hot day. We have had it checked to see if it needed repairs and it does not.
