Do I have a problem with my fridge in my 5 year old caravan. It works fine but it doesn't seem to be as cold as it used too. How do I know because I feel I have to turn the knob much further round to get it where it needs to be. I have the knob on about 3/4 round...is that right or should i have it turned on full all the time. The freezer box does freeze at 3/4 but the fridge doesn't seem as cold as a cool box i have running. Any advice please

Simple things first.
Does the door close properly?
(Cold air might be leaking out)
Check if the door seal is doing its job by trapping a slip of paper in it. Check it all round, including the hinge side & bottom edge.

You don't say if it's on electric or gas!
