    It may need defrosting & cleaning up a bit - even if frostfree.

    Hoover out all the back, including the metal mesh area.

    Check the seals are closing & clean on the doors - slide a piece of paer between door/fridge, to see it's tight, as you pull it back out.

    Has the temp control got a button that's pushed in/out for different settings?

    does it have one or two compressors at the back?
