I have misplaced the user manual for my Hotpoint Mistral Fridge/Freezer and cannot adjust the fridge temperature. The freezer works fine -22C; but the fridge is stuck on +22C?

Any ideas please?

I had exactly the same problem - the freezer set to
-22C but the fridge soared to +20C no matter what you set it at. Panick set in.
I managed to fix it really easily. I noticed that the fridge door was slightly lower on the non-hinge side. I opened the fridge door fully and tightened the screws on the top hinge. This brought the door level again and withing a few hours the temperature had returned to +4C.
Hope this helps. It may not be the same as your fridge but it worked for me.

Go to the following link http://imagebank.indesitcompany.co.uk/pdf/service/HBFF93.pdf
Here you can either view a manual or choose to download one free of charge, you will need Acrobat Reader installed to be able to view them. Hope this helps.
If your problem relates to wrong temperastures, please be aware that the temperature for the freezer compartment cannot be changed, this is pre set at the time of manufacture, only the fridge can be altered. The main reason for problems with zoned temperatures are to do with the compressor over heating. Unfortunately Hotpoint designed the compressor to switch itself off if the ambient (room) temperature exceeds a pre set figure. This in turn will obviously then lead to an increase in the temperatures of your fridge and freezer. I'm afraid the only solution to this problem is to relocate the whole unit to somewhere much cooler, especially during the hotter weather. This should in time sort the problem out. Also double check that the grill at the very bottom on the front, is not blocked up with dust etc.

I have exactly the same problem, except my frezzer is fluctuating between -11C + -2C. I also cannot seem to be able to reduce the temperature in the fridge from +22C. Have you found an answer yet?
