Hotpoint RLA84 Fridge freezing at the back.

The back wall of the fridge has a layer of ice in the top half, bottom half is completely normal, the temperature indicator inside is green and says ok, no matter what I do with the temperature control (it is currently set at number 1) there is no differrence, the door appears to fit properly. Any ideas? Is it a case of a new thermostat needed?

    Hi Natalie, the most common cause of icy build up in the fridge is a damaged door seal, but if yours is fine, then I'm guessing it could well be something related to the thermostat - maybe the stat itself or the control knob. Try removing the control knob first to get a closer look before you order. Hope this helps.
