What temperature should I be getting inside a fridge. Myine is
showing 15 degrees C so in the unsafe zone. It is getting on a bit so
ready to be changed I think but it does work, the chiller at the back
is certainly cold but obviously not cold enough.

Blimey, 15 is nearly room temperature - where the bugs will multiply
no end!

You should be aiming for 4 degC. I assume it *is* switched on?g

Yes hence it isn't being used but it does feel cold or shall we say
cool inside. I can only assume the reason I didn't notice until
recently it that it has been so bloody cold that room temperature has
stopped anything going off.
I wondered if it was on, but the light comes on and the cooling plate
at the back feels cold so it is working but very badly. Anyway it it
sufficiently old just to get shot of it.
I should say that milk and some other stuff has been kept in a small
work top fridge hence not noticing as it has hardly been used.

As this is uk.d-i-y I feel compelled to point out that if the cooling
plate is cold but the fridge stays warm it's probably just the door seal
not sealing properly. Either the door is twisted (just apply twisting
force to repair) or the seal is simply knackered (buy a new one and
fit). No way to fix it with an angle grinder that I know of.

How else would you get all the ice that has pushed the door open off?
