Light is now coming on in the lower oven - I had not tried it after setting the clock and I think the clock needs set in order for the oven to work at all. New fridge is running slightly warm. Either the thermostat needs run in or they just run warmer when loaded with food. The thermostat sensor (a long thin metal tube filled with gas) runs behind the lining not in the body of the fridge itself so this is possible. Back in nudging mode. We had a cooker like that, so I developed a way of slapping the switches after turning it on so that it set the clock and started working with minimal delay. Ridiculously stupid design. |

Mine is the same in that I have to kick off the timer for the oven to work. As for the fridge, I was under the impression that the fridge is more efficient when filled and less so when emptier. |

The added efficiency of a full fridge is that there is less cold air to fall out when the door is opened. I believe the difference I have experienced is because the thermostat is reacting to the temperature between the inner and outer skin of the fridge rather than to the temperature inside the food compartment itself. |

So it's the ambient temperature instability that's causing the issue? |

That's really not good. It will be trying to cool down when there's no need. I take it you have an internal thermometer in the fridge? That's what I go for to set the dial to the right place. I'm sure you are doing that already though so forgive me for telling you irrelevant things. What make is it, by the way? Mine's a Blomberg. |

So it's the ambient temperature instability that's causing the issue? No I think it is just a function of fridge design and Which's review of that model praised its temerature stability under varied external temperatures. When I get round to replacing the front fridge then, providing it does not start off insanely cold, I will let it run under real conditions for a few days before tweaking. Life was much simpler before I discovered fridge thermometers!

I do not think there is a problem with I think it just needs tweaked under real conditions. When I checked a few minutes ago it was too cold... so I pulled the max/min thermometer away from the rear panel (AKA the cooling panel). Embarassingly I believe twas me shoved it back there when putting the last of the salad back in it. |

I've had a stinking cold for a couple of weeks, which took up residence in my lungs and my sinuses . I have been coughing so badly complete strangers have been asking if I need an ambulance! I finally admitted defeat and have a GP appointment tomorrow so guess what? After a last few explosive sessions earlier on it has gone pretty much completely
And my back, which has been playing up badly enough for me to use a crutch seems to be settling down again

Another forum that I frequent goes a bit OTT with cuss words "cock" appears as 'male chicken' (changed by forum)

Went to the local chemists to order my repeat prescriptions and got a free flu jab while I was there.  |
