Hi,
This machine has a gas valve in the system – have not really dealt with them before.
They have a fridge and freezer stat – the fridge stat having two capillaries.
To increase my education what is the purpose of the two capillaries and is it likely the stat is the cause of the fridge not being cool enough. Or should the valve be suspect also.
Thanks.
Laurence
Re: LEC F/F T660 – Fridge Not Cold?
Hi Laurence
Not able to help to much with this one but the stat that is fitted is called a dual zone stat. The coiled capillary is measuring air temp and the other is for measuring evap temps. With stats it is rare ( never had one my self) for them to cause the unit not to get to temp correctly they either work or don’t ( check that contacts between 6 and 4 are closed – will only open when down to temp)
Gas valve is there to divert gas between fridge and freezer depending on stat operation.
Possible that unit is not switching gas valve to divert gas to fridge ( will not cool at all) or that the unit is low on gas/weak compressor( poor freezing in freezer as well as fridge one would suspect)HTH
