Default Fridge not getting so cold now ... suggestions

Hi all

the built-under fridge we had when we moved in (it's about 8 years old
now) is not keeping things as cold as it used to ... it seems well
ventilated, but the compressor seems to run more than it used to.

Could it have leaked refridgerant, and if so, are there places that
can re-gas, or am I doomed to get a new one ?

Anyone else suggest possible causes and checks ?

thanks in advance


Pull it out and give the back a vaccum first - give it a clean and
make sure the overflow bit at the back isn't blocked.
Get a thermometer and check what temperature it's getting to. Does the
thermostat in it make a difference?
