Fridge help!

:hello:

My fridge has a temperature control from 0-6. At some point I've accidentally knocked it to 6, so my :beer: is too cold. :eek:

What number should it be on please? I'd look in the destructions, but I haven't got any.

:T MBE

Give us a clue... make and model?

Start with somewhere in the middle and see how it goes for now?

A number of manufacturers have instruction pages or pdf's on their sites, and if not, look in the Appliances section of the MEGA Index. At the bottom is a link to our manuals sharing thread, and on the last page of that there are links to on-line manuals finders.

I'm pretty sure(but not entirely) that a fridge should run at 4-5 degrees c.
Not sure how that translates on you fridge dial.Have you got a thermometer to check it?

had to sellotape my fridge control as it kept getting knocked up and i was getting frozen milk and even the mince meat froze in there. I keep it around 3 but i keep a thermonitor in there as it needs to be adjusted slightly depending on the time of year.

MATH

I don't think the numbers are uniform from make to make. My fridge in the emids is a hotpoint and I usualy keep it at about 2 unless there is a lot in it and I turn it to 4 but at that level the stuff at the back can freeze. The fridge I have at the coast is an electra and I can have that at 6 and stuff is just nicely chilled.

if it comes out frozen - it is too cold
if it comes out hot - you have gone too far the other way

Sorry - that was no help was it

Like squeaky says, start at 3, see what happens after a few hours, then turn it up or down as needed!!!!

Well, I've tuned it in to 3 for now. It says on the front that it's a Hotpoint Iced Diamond, but there doesn't seem to be a model number.

I got it second hand so don't really know. :rolleyes:

Try here for your manual

It's not listed....but the "trial and error" method will suffice.

:T all.

There's a label thingy inside mine which tells me the model number. It's hidden on the side wall behind the bit that has the light in, so it's not "obvious". Especially if the fridge is full.
