Wait about 24 hours to see the result. It's better to control the real temperature by using a mercury refrigerator thermometers. You can order one from APP. - The refrigerator thermometer Part number: AP3549145 Gene.

If this does not solve the problem could it be the thermostat (the one you replace deep inside the fridge towards the bottom?) Also we noticed that the fridge sometimes goes on and after a second goes off. Seems like once it's on it's runs for long time.
