Their are no direct connections between the number and the temperatures on refrigerators and freezers. Is is based on surrounding temperature, in the room. That is the reason they used numbers and do not mark teperatures.
If the temperature is the problem this could be the solution
Problems with Temperature
If the refrigerator or freezer is not cooling properly, check temperature settings and air vents and ensure there is adequate room for proper airflow. Factory-recommended temperature settings are 0 degrees Fahrenheit (-18 degrees Celsius) for the refrigerator; and 37 degrees Fahrenheit (3 degrees Celsius) for the freezer.
If you need to adjust the temperature, do it one degree at a time and wait 24 hours before making additional adjustments. Check the air vents and make sure nothing is blocking them. Finally, if your refrigerator or freezer is too full, there will not be adequate room for air to circulate and cool properly. If these all check out, the problem could be with one or more compressor components and will require professional repair.
Many times a freezer and/or refrigeratordo not work right because of a dirty condenser coil...there are also many otherthings that can go wrong.

Hi, all fridge freezers work on ambient room temperatures, ie room temperature. Also it will depend on the classification of your fridge freezer. On a normal classification fr/free 70 degrees should be a constant maximum. On a sub normal classification room temp should not exceed 50 degrees. on a sub tropical room temp can be pretty much as warm as you like. On the rating plate inside your fridge freezer two small letters exist (N) normal. (SN) sub normal. (ST) sub tropical. Most fridges will work for a while in the wrong temp but will work too hard and pack up
Your first step is to make sure the condenser coils and the fan are clean and there is nothing blocking air flow around the outside of the fridge. A good vaccuming and brushing will do it wonders.
If this does not improve the operation. Tell the landlord that it is bad and if it is part of the supplied appliances, he should replace or repair it for you.
If he is not cooporative, do some online searches for methods to convince him to do his job or who to contact to ensure he doesn't cause you harm.
IN REPLY TO YOUR EMAIL THE FREEZER TEMPERATURE SLOWLY WENT BACK TO 18 DEGREE'S AND HAS STAYED THAT WAY AS IT SHOULD BE I CAN ONLY THINK IT HAD TO WITH THE FREEZING WEATHER AS OUR FRIDGES AND FREEZERS ARE IN A UTILITY ROOM AND CAN GET VERY COLD.
