Default grrrr fridge temps

ok i have had my fridge set up for a week now and i am really struggling with the temps.

i have put the hibernation boxes in with the temp probs laid ontop of the substrate(shredded paper)

Filled the surrounding areas with mass to try and stabilize the temps but they keep dropping and seem to want to stay around the 2.0c in one box and 4.2 in the other one.

i've been taking out and putting in different masses to try get it to settle around the 5.0c mark .

ive attached pictures so if any one can give me any advice to what i'm doing wrong or how to set the fridge better,i'd be really gratefull.

thank you

have you tried it without all the bottles and other stuff? I only had my boxes in mine I just wondered whether the fridge has to work harder with more in it or if the cold water might put the temps down? probably a daft idea can I also see a freezer compartment? sorry if it is but I think thats a no no

no theres definatly no freezer compartment,it took me ages to track down a larder fridge.

i think i'll take everything out and try just their boxes,maybe you are right on that idea.

thanks both of you
