    Is there not a wiring diagram in the box or on the pack?

    I’m thinking the stat wiring is arse about face? On when off, off when on?

    Hi Norm,

    You have broken rule number 8:

    fridge-freezer-forum/professional-advice-the-public-forums-t4360.html

    Obviously before removing any wiring you both made a note on paper and took a photo of the original wiring positions?.

    A classic example of why it pays to get a professional in.

    Accept that ..but the existing thermostat bares no resemblance connection wise to the original .

    3 & 4 should work ok with the new stat.

    It may have been too cold after running continues

    Have you tried it since to see if it works.

    The stat shown should be available from the whitegoods shop
