Fridge Problem - Ice forming at back

First off try turning it to a lower setting, or try putting some bottled water / cordial in the fridge.

check to see if your fridge has a drainage plug somewhere. If this gets blocked the icing issue can occur. It's normally at the back above any chiller drawers you may have in there.

Add anti-freeze!

Yeah, we've already covered adjusting the thermostat and clearing the drain hole earlier in the thread.

Putting a large volume of liquid in the fridge is a novel suggestion though. I have a bottle of rosé (which has a lower freezing point than water) in mine, will that do? One contributor has this problem with a fridge containing nothing but bottles of wine! Should I try a 5 litre container of windscreen washer fluid?

Theres no problem with the fridge. The more you open the door, the more dirty air gets in that causes condensation.

Open your fridge less

That's probably where my problem lies. My computer sits on a breakfast bar in the kitchen, so I'm always reaching for the fridge :-)

Mine's an LG Express Cool, new in 2007.

I know this thread is old now but I have the same problem in that a block of ice forms at one side of the drainage lip at the back of my frost free fridge. Did the OP ever get this sorted or did you buy a new fridge freezer?

Is it overclocked?
