Hi Guys hoping someone can help me on here

No that the warmer weather is approaching i have noticed that the fridge does not seem to be very cold and milk etc is only lasting a couple of days.

I have the Thermostat on number 7 which i believe is the coldest yet nothing really seems to stay cold in this heat.

can anybody try to help me find the problem ie Thermostat etc.

The freezer side all seems to be fine its just the fridge.

We cannot really afford to buy a new fridge freezer at the moment and i am a bit unsure of getting somebody out only to charge me a fortune so it would be really helpfull if i can identifi the problem myself.

If anybody needs any more info i will be happy to assist

John

hi pepps , the number means nothing , what is the temp insaide the fridge? it should be 5 c if its higher you need assistance,
is the compressor running all the time? is there a fan on the unit behined the f/f ? is it running ? are the fins on the unit< behined < the f/f clean? is there good air flow inside the fridge < is it frozen up ? if you cannot see a problem then get a tec in all the best= sedgy ,

Hi guys thanks for the replies

Ok I need to get a temp gauge to see what the temp is but I can answer the other questions
The fins are clean, the air flow in the fridge is ok
As soon as iopened the fridge I heard something click then start running, the fridge is not frozen up there are drips of water on the back of the fridge

Hope this helps
