It's suppose to be -18C or colder.....to keep food 'fresh' for longest.
Last week i bought one of those fridge/freezer temperature gauges......to my surprise my freezer was only at -10C :o .....I think my old Lec freezer is on the way out......even on max setting it just manages -18C.
I did wonder how accurate the temp gauge was...so yesterday i bunged it in my mum's freezer for 20mins (which is about 6 months old) .... -22C (and it was only set on 2.5 out of 5) so im guessing its fairly accurate :y
New freezer time me thinks....
-
mines bloody freezing. :y
-
mines bloody freezing. :y
and the bags of water have turned to ice. ;)
-
mine is -30 fan type, and if you dont open the door for a few days it bloody hard to open lol
-
i know the fridges in the blockbuster shops was -31 and when we refurbed the shops we used to accidently turn them off and resulting in a drop of temp once the door was open a few hrs later, used to hate eaten that hargen das ice cream ::) ;D ;D ;D
-
Mine has a little display for reading and setting desired temp, so I keep mine at -22C. My fridge is set to 4C.
Both compartments are Frost Free, with those iritating fans.

Would you like to spend ages defrosting them every 6 months ;)
My next fridge/freezer will be frost free :y

I only have that box in the fridge, its only big enough for about 3 Pizzas and some Ice for some drinks, thats all I need with a shop 1 min away! :D
-
My frost free one sits at around -24 to -26 degC.

You must have a strong spoon for serving ice cream. ;)
A timely reminder, actually. Put a thermometer in one of ours a couple of days back. Must check what it is reading.

The door seal is f**ked on ours.....so.... :-/
I'll check it out. :y
Just checked -28C..... :y

ive no idea to be honest, doesnt have a gauge on it and ive never tested the temp. i know it makes a mess if you dont close the door fully after opening it.

mines got the display and settings on door, freezer is at -24 frost free thingy, with built in ice maker/crusher and cold water :y

Thats an ice making compartment, and not suitable for keeping food frozen for more than a couple of days I'm afraid.

Blimey, can you still get those type of fridges :-/
But TB is correct, I doubt its any colder than -5/-6C and no good for keeping food frozen in ;)

-22 bluddy cold gave it its yearly sort out today
amazing what you find right at the bottom

There's stuff in mine that moved house with me almost two years ago :-X

Ours has got a thermometer type dial built into the door. Just went and looked - no numbers on it apart from 0oC, but the pointer is pointing to the bit it's supposed to be pointing at.
But it must be OK, 'cos nobody's been poisoned, and we've been using it for 13 years.
Following a complaint from the management about the standard of cleanliness in the kitchen, the switch for the freezer accidentally got turned off (due to over-enthusiastic use of a Spontex cloth under the toaster - don't ask). We aren't sure exactly how many hours (days?) elapsed before this was noticed. It provided me with an opportunity to dispose of some of the more unprepossessing looking items which had been squirreled away in there and hoarded for years, but, to be honest, almost everything in there had stayed frozen, and none of the stuff we re-froze seems to have suffered appreciably.

I've just had to turn mine down a tad ;D
It seems it takes it a few days to go even colder.....after a week being set on max......the temp guage was sailing past the -25C mark :o
