Model number: FFRM1812PAI
There are no gaps or leaks along the door. Ice is forming and expanding in size to the bottom left and bottom right of the fan (which is towards the top of the fridge compartment).
It seems the fridge freezer is cooling all the time as we can hear the compressor and fan running continuously. We’ve not noticed it defrosting recently, as it usually goes quite during that time. Even when we’ve not opened the fridge for several hours, e.g. in the morning you can still hear it running.
We have switched off and defrosted the entire unit, but ice has already started building up in the same area again within a day.
Towards to the top of the fridge compartment, where is the fan is.
One lump of ice is to the left and the other is to the right of the fan, like so: https://i.imgur.com/d5g9Dq8.png
I’d need the product code to be sure but it sounds like a thermostat problem but, you’d really need to temp test it to be sure.

Oh right, the full product number is FFRM1812PAI_WH (although I’m guessing WH stands for the colour = white).
Is it worth me chancing it with a new thermostat? I think they’re less than £30.

You will still need to temperature test it to be sure the thermostat is the problem, I’m afraid there’s no magic bullet solution. And to take a punt a stat might cure it risky as that’s £30.
