Logik Fridge LFC50S18 – Freezing in Fridge Compartment

[yucca]

Hello,

I have a Logik Fridge LFC50S18 (it’s Curry’s own brand fridge freezer with the fridge on top).
Recently the back wall of the fridge compartment started developing ice – to such an extent that the contents of the fridge become frozen.

The top surface of the fridge has the light and control but changing this seems to make no difference.

The freezer itself seems to be operating as expected – no build up of ice (as it’s frost free) – fan works as expected – and when I remove the shroud on the back wall of the freezer to expose the fan, evaporator fins, heating element there was no ice build up which makes me think that everything in that department is fine.

I have checked the seal for the fridge door and it looks fine – it does mate with the fridge body and when I sandwiched a sheet of paper between the fridge door and fridge body, there was resistance when I tried to withdraw it.

Any advice on how I can track down what is faulty? Could it be some sort of temperature sensor for the fridge which is misreading and sending an excessive amount of coolant to the fridge? Or the control/circuit board in the fridge? Are they one and the same thing? Is it even worth repairing?

Thanks in advance.
