If your Kenmore 4126 refrigerator is freezing items in the refrigerator compartments, there are a few things you can check to troubleshoot the issue:

Check the temperature settings: Make sure the temperature settings for both the refrigerator and freezer compartments are set correctly. The recommended temperature for the refrigerator is between 36-38 degrees Fahrenheit and for the freezer is between 0-5 degrees Fahrenheit.
Check the air vents: Make sure the air vents inside the refrigerator compartment are not blocked or obstructed. Blocked air vents can cause uneven cooling and result in freezing.
Check the door gasket: Make sure the door gasket is sealing properly and that there are no cracks or tears in the gasket. A faulty gasket can cause cold air to escape, leading to uneven cooling and freezing.
Check the defrost system: If the defrost system is not functioning properly, it can cause frost buildup on the evaporator coils, which can lead to uneven cooling and freezing. Check the defrost heater, thermostat, and timer to ensure they are working correctly.
Check the temperature sensor: If the temperature sensor is faulty, it can cause the refrigerator to run continuously, resulting in freezing. Check the temperature sensor and replace it if necessary.
