Issue with refrigerator and related temperature

[Pells]

Hi the refrigerator does not work properly as it freezes too much rather than just cold.
I am using position 1 that is actually the higher temperature possible to select ( 1 warmer up to 5 coldest ) but basically no matter what number I select as the fridge always freeeze.
The related signal of fault appeared (see picture)

I brought the car to official Mercedes repairing and they stated it was a matter of sensor of temperature, so they replaced it, the signal of alarm disappeared and the refrigerator started to work properly

then after just 10 days the issue popped up again

any similar experience and expertise with solution ?
thanks in advanced

I had the same issue soon after buying my van and was able to resolve by having a third party garage (not MB) change the thermal sensor unit.
Has worked no problem since.

Quick update as I bought the car to the MB garage today
They stated the first time (end November) the replaced the TEMPERATURE CONTROLLER (PN 9066101) while now the issue is with SENSOR TEMPERTURE ( PN 9056102/64)

I am a bit upset and I expressed my frustration because since the beginning I was making clear the issue were two, both A and B AT THE SAME TIME :
A) I could not change the freezing value from value 1 to 5, I could only chose 1 (I now assume that shall be TEMPERATURE CONTROLLER related )
B) at the minimum value of 1 the refrigerator was freezing rather than just cooling (I now assume that shall be SENSOR TEMPERATURE related )

I said I am not gonna pay twice for manpower given they should have done the job complete and made the related check from the beginning and in anycase prior to release the car.. but I have to give up on SENSOR TEMPERTURE replacement

Still I have some perplexed as (some input from some Spanish guys) it could also be a matter of just making a a configuration in the control panel (MB garage stated this shall not be the case thought ..)

Hi, please can you share details of the third party garage as I have the same issue.

My MP has been with MB dealer for 4 months and still waiting !

Hi Ian, I bought sensor from my local MB dealer. (£75) and took 2 days to arrive.
fairly easy to replace yourself (if a bit fiddly)
I posted Video on this site. Search; Fridge sensor replacement.
Tip: make sure you feed the sensor cable from inside the fridge and down through the channel in the unit before connecting.

It's definitely a sensor, perhaps they replaced it with a faulty sensor. I had a problem on my brand new MB GLE 400D It was the coolant pump. They replaced it for it only to happen again a week later. We buy MB for quality however we don't get it
