Reduce the fridge temperature via the controls on the fridge, I had this happen once and just reduced the fridge temperature and now everything ok, you may have to adjust the fridge on occasions dependant on outside temperatures.

Have you had the van long and if so has it done it before? If it has just started doing it then the thermostat must have stopped working and you need to have it repaired.

Taking the covers off as the ambient temperature rises at this time of year makes the fridge more efficient and, in these circumstances, more likely to freeze the contents.

Thanks for your help. Yes, covers are off. Looks like it is the thermostat. I've had the van for a year. Next stop Marquis Golden Cross.
