Does Aimee live near you Soozy? 

Aimee is my forum daughter didn't you know? If I told you the current state of play with white goods in my kitchen you wouldn't believe me - you'd think I was copying.

 

I think we are very closely genetically linked.

Aimee I think they vary so much. Our normal fridge keeps everything cold on 3, but we've just bought a smaller fridge to keep drinks in and it has to be set at 6 to keep them chilled.

 I've tried turning it down but then things don't seem cold enough, the eggs were frozen solid, the back wall of the fridge should run with water and there's a  channel to catch the water but mine keeps freezing

1-5 I've turned it down to 4 and the back wall is not frozen now  it's not over full, I put meat on the bottom shelf and it seems only that shelf  that it's happening to

Aimee

Mine's 1-5 too. I never have it at 5 as everything will freeze, I generally have it just under 2, but if there's very little in the fridge (doesn't happen often) I set it at 1. Like you if I put stuff on the bottom shelf it might freeze and if I want to defrost stuff in the fridge I put it on the top shelf as it won't defrost on the bottom shelf and might not defrost fully on the middle shelf. At times, if the fridge is extremely full, I'll turn it to 3 or 4. This is because if it's very full the air won't circulate so the temp won't be even in the normal way, but watch out for liquids as they might freeze depending on whereabouts they are.

 ! Also make sure nothing's touching the back wall of the fridge

Thanks I'll buy one 

Sounds like the right solution to me. (Btw Aims, eggs , (like tom's,) should never be stored in the fridge)
