Hi, not totally sure how these ones work. Access to the control panel at the top of the m/c revealed a PCB. Presumably this m/c has a two thermisters, one for the freezer and one for the fridge that attach via terminal blocks to the PCB.
I’m guessing the fridge thermister is at fault here, not telling the PCB ‘we are cold enough’. Can anyone explain to me where this fits onto the PCB, or if the PCB is a likely fault?
Many thanks in advance.

These are prone to system faults, seen loads of them with the fridges freezing and freezer defrosting. They leak from the anticondensation loop around the freezer door due to corrosion.

Hmm, as far as I could tell the m/c looked in mint condition. No signs of corrosion on the door seals. Even with the fridge temp controller turned as far off as it can be, the fridge is still running constant, thus freezing.
Just looked on connect, no thermisters are listed? only the pcb which would need configuring… happy days!
Might have to let this one go 🙁
I think the thermistors are set into the casing when it built (thrown!) together making it a very tricky repair.
