I recently bought a new fridge freezer. I believe that it has just the one compressor, and one control inside the fridge compartment.
With the control set to about mid position, the fridge temp is about 4.5 Degrees C, and the freezer temp is about -29 Degrees C.
I am thinking that the freezer temp is too low as I believe that a normal temp is -18 Degrees C.
The manufacturers service engineer visited and said that the unit is working very well. I mentioned that the freezer seems too cold and would be wasting energy. He then said that my thermometers might not be accurate. (I have tried several, all give similar readings).
I suggested that he tried his own thermometer which should be calibrated, his reply was that he did not have one.
He then said he would fit a new thermostat, he did not have one of those with him either.
Advice appreciated.
