Carrots keep freezing in my fridge.

My carrots keep freezing in my fridge. I buy some carrots in a bag use a few and place the rest in the fridge and after a few days they are frozen solid. What can I do to stop this?
 
I don't know what you're going to do but, in the alternate universe there are these things called thermostats. Apparently, they control the refrigerator temperature. 'Course back in our universe, I'd probably move the carrots to a different spot in the fridge.
 
the temp dial was already half way, I guess i will increase a little more. I tried moving the carrots around too. Other stuff freezes some times too like onions.
 
Sometimes the back of the fridge, especially on the top shelf, is colder than the rest. If I place milk in the back of my top shelf it will freeze. Its fine anywhere else.
 
Cold air sinks

The further away from the door, the cooler it is - less warmer area from when you open the door.
 
I also have this problem. I was just assuming it was because I have a POS fridge. Do the better ones still have this problem?
 
Clean the vent at the bottom of the fridge. If it gets clogged up with dust it makes the motor run more to keep things cool thus creating lower temps and freezing your carrots, etc.
 
I'm no professional painter, but you should buy some masking tape to ensure you don't get paint dribbling all over your floor.

I usually choose a semi gloss paint as well.
 
Can the freezer temperature affect the fridge. My freezer is on the coldest setting. Eggs have already burst too.

Yes, the freezer temperature usually affects the fridge. Unless you have a high-end fridge this is how they operate:

1) One control operates the temperature of the air that goes into the units. This control is usually labeled "freezer".

2) The other control operates how much of that air goes into the freezer and how much goes into the fridge. This control is usually labeled "refrigerator".

So, for example, if you have a low-end fridge, you'll likely have two dials labeled something like 1 to 5. A setting of 3 on the freezer may mean the air temperature is 25°F. A setting of 3 on the fridge may mean that 10% of that 25°F air goes into the fridge and 90% goes into the freezer. If you turn the freezer temperature dial down to lets say 15°F then BOTH the freezer and the fridge get 15°F air blowing into them (90% to the freezer and 10% to the fridge). Put anything near that incoming 15°F air and it'll freeze even in the fridge. Note: these numbers are just randomly made up to give the idea of how to better control things, they probably aren't exactly correct for any fridge/freezer combination.

This is done since you usually have one compressor and one blower but you want to control two separate chambers. So, you don't get independant control of either.

I do have to ask, why keep the freezer so cold? Food doesn't last significantly longer and it leads to far more energy usage and frozen items in the fridge.
