Sub-Zero Refrigerator Freezing Food: Setpoint, Airflow, and Sensor Clues
Food freezing in the refrigerator section is usually a control or airflow problem—not a reason to keep raising the setpoint blindly.

Do not condemn a Sub-Zero compressor based on sound or run time alone. Several simpler faults can produce the same symptoms.
Separate normal short-term temperature movement from a refrigerator that truly cannot hold its setpoint.
A fan that seems silent with the door open is not automatically failed. Use temperature and airflow symptoms to confirm the problem.
Use a temperature-first approach to separate a temporary warm cabinet from a persistent Sub-Zero cooling problem.
Long run time is not automatically a compressor failure. Use temperature, condenser condition, door sealing, and recent usage to judge the pattern.
