Fridge is 15yrs old but well looked after am worried it may be using to much electricity
Try verifying the temperature range with a thermometer. For most fridge's you should see something like a low of 32 and a high of 40. Those would represent the turn off/turn on points for the compressor - that part that actually makes the fridge cold.
If it's swinging much outside those rages, the thermostat in your fridge is suspect. For most fridge's the thermostat is the know you turn to adjust the temperature. It usually has an attached wire/temperature probe that runs down behind a panel in the fridge and senses the temperature so the thermostat can command the compressor to turn on or off.
If it seems like the compressor might be at fault check with the manufacturer's website and you might find a parts diagram and identify the part. Then you can either call a repair technician or try replacing it yourself. You can purchase replacement appliance parts at many places on the Internet such as this site: Search Over 2 1 Million Appliance Parts
