My suggestion was that it could be "too full" - as I always thought fridges needed to have air circulation in order to run effectively...that said, with the size of the fridge it is very difficult not to have it full!

Ours seems to take a good while to cool down, but once it's there it is not bad - certainly much cooler than 18 degrees so this would perhaps suggest a fault in yours.  Does the metal rack bit at the back (not in the freezer compartment) feel very cold when the fridge has been on a few hours? - this is what I check to ensure it is on and working and it normally feels quite icy?

I believe you can light the gas and also run it via electric at the same time and it will cool down much quicker (that's a Ro88o0 tip Darren!) but I haven't tried that myself.

Hi Darren, that's really weird because we have the same problem with our Sovereign, so I will be interested in knowing how you resolve it.  We tend to use an electric coolbox for the majority of our food/drink.
