Thank you for the suggestion to move the sensor, but it has been in several positions now with no significant impact. Looking into the fridge, it started on the far right half way up. Then the first tech moved it in three fins. After some research I pushed it up to the top. The latest tech has moved it further to the left to about the centre.

Try it where I suggested.

Sorry about that Dick0, misunderstood. Have done as suggested, will let you know how that goes over the next 24hrs.

I sometimes wonder if ours has any insulation, as soon as it is turned off, the temp starts to climb.

 Hi Lloyd, have you tested the door seals using the paper method?

Dick0, have come back to find temp has remained just above 5degC, I'll take that. Thank you for the suggestion.

What temp setting, 1-5/5, did you set and what is the freezer and fridge temps now at that setting after having moved the probe? Are you using a digital or an analog thermometer and where in the fridge have you located it?

I like to know what others do to fridge settings to improve performance. I for one keep the probe well away from the fins and find it the most efficient for cooling.

Hi Dick0, still need to run the fridge on 5, but freezer is -15 and fridge is 5-6. I have two temp sensors, both mounted on second shelf up and towards front.
