Ok my girlfriend just moved into a new apartment about 2 a week or so ago. Well lastnight she did here first decent sized food shopping. This morning I went to get some milk and everything was frozen solid. So my first thought was the setting was to high, well it was set on 8 out of 10, so I dont think it was high enough to freeze everything, so I turned it down it down to 7. WOW was that a huge mistake, tonight I looked in the bottom draw and it is FULL of iced water!!!!! Now Im pretty sure this is an older fridge, but the freezer works decent, nothing really melts in the freezer, to mmy knowledge anyways. So how can I go about fixing this problem? It is a GE. I really need to get this fixed. So does anyone know how to fix this, any help would be great. Below are links to what the draw looks like.

There is thick layer of ice on the top, thick enough for me to put a fair amount pressure on it without it breaking
