have the thermostat checked as it appears that it has stopped controlling the temperature you set to

That would be the thermostat. Can order online.

Yes your thermostat is shorted. It's just not shutting the unit off ever. A thermostat is something you can touch as a user, so no it's not that hard to get to for replacement. Also have the unit unplugged while learning how to repair your appliance.

If it's less then a year old you have a warranty, if it's older you are better off replacing the unit as direct parts are not available and subs would cost more that the unit.

my trf 285 intergrated fridge freezer has same problem fridge is freezing our food have been informed that a valvue is stuck open the solutionoffered was defrost and leave for 2 days i did that it did not work the valvue is not replaceable hope this is some help

remove the rear lower panel behind the unit,unplug the ptc overload/relay off the compressor and take an ohm meter and from the single pin on the compressor to each terminals above or below the single pin test these one at a time they should each resd 5-10 ohms each,then the 2 pins side by side test these 2,this should read 7-15 ohms,any readings much below these readings constitute a shorted compressor,then from each pin separately to the case of the compressor,you should read no resistance or the compressors windings are shorted to ground,if these readings are within above specs then replace the ptc overload/relay and capacitor and it will again cool
