my fridge hates me.

Options
Even on it's "warmest" setting it's still freezing things. Is there anything I can do about this? (I doubt it - but worth a try)

    Could be the thermostat

    Do you have an ice box which is iced up and making the fridge colder as the compartment door is not closed properly,

    Is there anything on top of it / behind it blocking the fan / vents?

    If so this could cause it.

    Might be worthwhile getting a fridge thermometer to double check what temperature the inside of the fridge is. You can get them quite cheaply in Wilkos/Asda or most supermarkets. It's also worth checking the thermostats, especially if you have young children around - one of my dgk's had a thing about altering the thermostat on my fridge and either defrosting everything OR freezing everything completely solid.
  • There's no icebox - we do keep the microwave on top of it though, could that affect it?

    I have a fridge thermometer somewhere so i might experiment with that :)
