Which is odd because it was visible when I looked at it earlier.

Oops. Sorry, I was clearing out some old pictures. Must have deleted it by mistake.

I realise this is an old thread which has been revived, but I thought that my experience of a fridge working erraticly may be of some help. We had quite an old Bosch Fridge, which five years ago, started over cooling, but adjusting the thermostat made no difference. We decided to replace it with a tall Fridge Freezer (which Jan had wanted for ages!) and moved the old fridge into the garage/workshop. Whilst moving it, I noticed a lot of dust on the coils on the back of the fridge, so I dusted it all of with a soft brush, and suprisingle[y the fridge started to work normally. It is still working perfectly and now serves as an ideal beer/wine fridge.

It is not your thermostat!

 

If it was, you would have also noted the contents of the fridge were far colder than usual.

Milk or water etc would be frozen solid.

If continuous running, with some ice still forming, is your only symptom, then you have lost some refrigerant.

That means you have a leak within the sealed system.  That can only get worse and eventually the ice will  stop forming.

It is not normally economical to repair, and cheaper to replace the refrigerator.

You will also be wasting your money fridge guide here playing around with alternative thermostats in the meantime.

At home, we have a tall Indesit refrigerator. Although that is also prone to making noise, the manufacturers thoughtfully provided a pamphlet documenting all of its many farts, burps, and gurgles!
