    Need the actual model number to find anything out but, sounds like it could be a thermistor issue, can’t be sure though or what one/s could be the problem.

    On one of those, could be either thermistor or both. Most probable reason.

    Most likely is the yellow plug fridge one here:

    Other is the green plug freezer here:

    They’ve been changed though from memory, don’t come with plugs now, you need to chop and join the old plugs to the new thermistors.

    Thanks for that, I remember having to change the one for the freezer donkys yonks ago and it had a plug on it.
    To save me a bit o faffing about can you tell me do I access this thermistor from inside the fridge or outside.
