Bought this fridge under pressure....not many available for quick delivery due to pandemic. There is not a separate temperature control for the freezer. It is already accumulating ice after only 3 weeks at 2.5 setting out of 5.
Would NOT recommend this product!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi there - Thanks for taking the time to write a review. We hate to hear that you aren't pleased with your refrigerator and that it's starting to create frost. This isn't something we would expect from a new unit and we do apologize. Your comments about the temperature control are greatly appreciated. As we always work to improve our products, we'll be sure to share your feedback with our product design team.
Frost inside the freezer typically indicates that the door is not properly sealing, or has been left open. If frost is found, clear it using a plastic spatula and towel, then check to ensure the door is closing properly.
Only one control for temperature in refrigerator...did not realize this until I had in my home. What you set for refrigerator is also what you set for freezer. Does not freeze everything well...example...does not freeze ice cream completely.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello there - Thanks so much for taking the time to write a review.

The ideal temperature setting is the midpoint on the temperature control. For every 1/8" turn, you change the target temperature by two degrees. Please allow at least 24 hours for the temperature to reach the desired setting. If the freezer isn't freezing your foods properly, make sure that both the refrigerator and freezer contain a reasonable food load.
We hope that this helps. All the best! -Mikayla@Hotpoint
