I took this picture while defrosting so I wouldn't get the glare.Д«oth shelves are in there designed spots. I think what you are looking at is the blue circular shade for the light bulb. There is no fan behind the freezer, It looked like there would be, so I took off the back compartment to check and see if it worked. The automatic only turns on and off, and regulates the temperature 'automatically,' this lead to frozen food where it wasn't supposed to be, so I put in something I could adjust. The only thing I added was the Supco thermostat to attempt to regulate the temperature better. I do appreciate the ideas, keep them coming!

I'm no pro, I'm just liking this thread because maybe some ideas will help out my ancient fridge when troubles occur. Most families open the fridge portion lots more than the freezer, so it's temp is likely more accurate for when the compressor needs to cycle.

Maybe try it in the fridge? See if just the right temp setting in the fridge is enough to keep the freezer as it shuold be? I believe most controls from this era sensed the fridge section temp, and assumed the freezer would be ok. I see the temp bulb is in the freezer section. Maybe that's what's keeping all the cold up on the top shelf and coldplate, making it freeze?

When does the fan cycle? Is that your addition?ДЄlso, the instructions for mine say to keep food about 3 inches from the walls to allow airflow. Is that an added fan? I have a 56 Hotpoint like this, the old 'cold wall' or 'Cold plate' style of fridge.
