    Update – it was the fan. I fitted it incorrectly first time which is why it didn’t work. Second one I ordered has resolved the problem.

    No change, still freezing at bottom of fridge and warmer towards top. I’ve measured freezer temperature and it’s around -18 but only at the very bottom. Therefore not overfreezing.

    After turning it back on there were two clicks 5 seconds apart approximately every 2 minutes. I understand this is the sound of the compressor turning on and off again. This happened for around half an hour but then the fridge went back to its usual humming.

    I already cleaned the coils at the back when I first started having issues. What do you think I should do next?

    Thanks for your reply didn’t mean to come across as ungrateful. It sounded to me like the fan stopped working not long after I started getting the temperature issues. But could have been ice as you say, I didn’t try a full 24 hour defrost like you suggest so I’m trying that now.

    Should I be able to hear the fan because I couldn’t hear any difference when I put in the new one (which subsequently started melting)? I’ve seen people saying they can hear it but all I ever hear is the humming of what I think is the compressor.

    Thanks for your reply. Not to be disrespectful but you’ve answered a tiny fraction of everything I asked and seemingly not read everything I wrote properly either.

    Hopefully someonee else will chime in with more useful info.
