Temperature dial - which way is for colder?

Locate the Temperature Control Knob: The temperature control knob is typically located inside the freezer compartment. It allows you to adjust the temperature settings.

Understanding the Knob:
For Top Mount ™ Models: The temperature control knob is usually located in the refrigerator section. At higher altitudes (e.g., 1000 meters above sea level), set the refrigerator temperature control to one-half setting warmer than MID.

For Bottom Mount (BM) Models: Adjust the refrigerator temperature using the bottom knob.
Setting the Temperature:
Turn the knob clockwise (usually towards the "colder" side) to lower the temperature.
Turn the knob counterclockwise (towards the "warmer" side) to raise the temperature.

Adjusting the fridge compartment temperature may cause a small change in the freezer temperature.
Remember to allow some clearance around the freezer for proper ventilation.

Sounds like your thermostat is bad. You probably have to replace it and the sending unit also. Big job! Look for a manual at : http://www.servicemanuals.net

Put more coins in the electric meter! lol

Check socket with working desk lamp

Check fuse in freezer plug

Turning thermostat clockwise lowers the operating temps.

Just set your thermostat to the colder position. If you still face the same problem, you need to conduct service maintenance of your freezer. It may dirty, run out of refrigerant, leaks problem, sensor problem etc.

the higher the number the colder the temperature, in most cases anyway.

Hi Normally temperature dial has at left maximum temperature while right is minimum temperature.
You can feel ( hear ) actually the sound of motor/compressor when it is run. Running motor will produce low temperature. By this you can decide where the set point should be made

The higher the number (0-6) the colder the box. Hope this helps

You can try this site to look for the user guide of your Freezer

Hope this help.

I have a danby mini fridge and freezer and noticed the same problem. The temperature dial has NO NUMBERS ON IT! it just has a strip that goes from light to dark blue. That's it. I looked in the manual and it doesn't say anywhere which way is colder...it makes sense that the darker the blue the colder the temperature but why keep us guessing?
