Switched around and the fridge reads 6.1*c now and freezer at -15.7*c.
All is nice and chilled in both fridge and freezer and keeps well.

Put them both in the same location for several hours and see if they match. Bear in mind there is a cycle of defrosting and refrigeration, ie warmer and colder.

Re: Fridge Freezer Settings
9.4 C is far too warm for a fridge, even 6.1 C is a bit too much, you really want them 5 C or less (but above freezing, obviously !).

Re: Fridge Freezer Settings
Switched it to 4 and half and the fridge now registers as 3.3*c.
