Default Freezer working, Refrig. Box also freezing
Brand: Crosley
Model Number: CT17A2W
Age: 5 - 10 years

The fan in the freezer seems to run all the time. The refrig. box is freezing foods and liquids. I have turned the temperature control to the lowest setting and it still freezes. My landlord said he has unpluged the unit and then it works. I have not tried that yet. Can this reset the refrig? I live in Puerto Rico and things are not easliy done. Is this something I can fix?

The thermostat switch should turn everything off when it reaches the preset temp. check it here>>Refrigerator Repair Guide: How To Test the Temperature Control - ACME HOW TO.com

With the newer models with the computer boards, unplugging it for 20 minutes may reset something.

The fridge is cooled by the fan blowing cold air into the fridge through a vent through the wall near the back. There is a damper which is adjusted by opening it more or less. Make sure it's not open all the way.
