Hotpoint Iced Diamond won't stop freezing

Fortyfoot

My Hotpoint Iced Diamond RFAA52 won't stop freezing, the veg in the veg box at the bottom of the fridge are covered in ice.

I defrosted the whole unit yesterday. Is there a way to resolve this? I am wary of ringing Hotpoint as many of these big companies overcharge for repairs. The unit is under five years old.

Ring Hotpoint or find local repair man?

Thanks,

Fortyfoot

Probably a daft question, but have you tried chaing the thermostat to a lower (Higher?) Settings

Also, check for any vents etc inside the unit ar clean and clear.

Any local repair man will be fine, it's a basic model so no specialist knowledge required. If it's just the thermostat they're not dear.

I rang local man, John Crossley yesterday, he called and checked the appliance, this morning he repaired with new thermostat, total cost £68. We are well pleased.

Thanks,
