Hi
I have a 2yer old diplomat apm6012 integrated fridge freezer.
Freezer seems ok, but fridge is around 14deg
I can't see any vents etc so no idea how its cooled for the life of me
Any ideas?

The first thing to do in cases such as this is to empty the fridge/freezer, unplug it and leave the doors open for 2 whole days to ensure that it has defrosted.
Over a period of 2 years, incomplete defrosts and excessive ingress of moisture can allow frost/ice to build up and block the duct between the freezer and fridge section (if you only have one compressor)
Before you start to investigate other defects/problems, you need to be confident that you are not dealing with a blocked duct and have a clear evaporator.
Bit of a bummer I know but a necessary step.

Hi Frank
I defrosted it yesterday.
I can't seem to see the duct between fridge and freezer (single compressor).
In my other fridge, there are grills in the fridge compartment, but in the diplomat one, its just a plastic panel.
At the back of the freezer there is a panel, which cover 2 pipes coming in, these change from copper to white coated, and then are run above the 3 shelves separately.
I can take pictures if required.
Thanks in advance

Have you checked the thermister (electronic module)?

How can I check this? Measure resistance?

I have the same problem. I'm planning to buy a new one, any suggestion? My fridge broke, and I knew that meant I did not have much time until my food went negative.
