Doxory?

zellia has decided I keep finding ice in the drinking water in my fridge. It's annoying to have to break ice or melt ice shards every time I want to drink water

Asked 2 years ago

My choice: declare that the fridge is too cold and turn the temperature up a bit (note: I've already had to do this once, the ice problem was worse before)

Put a thermometer in to check the actual temperature the food is experiencing.

Frozen spaghetti from a similar incident my frosh year sucks ass. Turn it up to 4ish, and make sure nobody's stuff is blocking the vents inside the fridge.

check the *freezer* temperature, and whether the automatic-defrost on the freezer side is working

that said, if the air flow inside the fridge is too constricted, you might have parts that freeze while other parts rot.

May also have to do with how the air circulates.

the more crystallized hydrogen bonds, the merrier! (also, concerns about what might happen to all the food if the fridge gets too warm, though I don't think it's anywhere near that temperature)

if your food isn't freezing, that is

talk to other people in the fridge and find out whether they're having problems; i had a problem sophomore year where my milk was going bad in 2-3 days and someone else's was freezing in the same fridge so for a little while there was a silent fight with the temperature knob -- definitely make sure that things aren't blocked and that it really is a systemically cold problem before turning it up

If you make a stupid choice because a website tells you to, it's your own damn fault.
