our fridge stopped working before xmas and we got it reapired by replacing the themostat… but now it seems to be getting too cold! its even starting to freeze up a little bit… any ideas why this might be happening?
Re: too cold
Might be worth checking it has been mounted correctly – sounds as though it thinks the fridge is too warm and so not cutting out at the right time.
Re: too cold
…..or you’ve damaged the capillary tube of the thermostat and the gas inside it has escaped? 🙁

Re: too cold
any tips on how to check if its been mounted correctly?
i didnt fit it myself.. it was fitted by a guy found through these forums!
if its an easy check id like to make sure all is okay without having to call him again unless i get out of my depth!its a SMEG built in fridge – model number: FR158SE
plus – the wire that comes from the themostat is too long so he curled it up a few times but its still loose hanging.. might that be part of the problem?

Possibly, yes. If the phial isn’t in the correct place then it can cause this issue.
