Beeping making me psychotic !

I believe the serial no is 72675463331110056406. My circuit doesn’t have a buzz setting (it’s so old !) but I can put it on test and see if I get a reading between the terminals when they are closed.

looked up with your serial no and Beko still list a 3 terminal switch

so all the tech on this is not a lot of use as its wrong

I understand. Maybe the switch was upgraded at some point for that particular model. I assume if a 3 terminal switch was fitted, the 2 grey wires would be separated and one would go to the 3rd terminal ?

I’m away from home at the moment, so can’t test the switch. Is the procedure for testing a 2 terminal switch the same as you described previously ?

yes continuity when released open circuit when closed
but your saying lamp goes on and off so cant see switch being a problem. before with the 3 term switch was hoping half the switch was faulty

on the 3 position one one wire is feed and the other 2, one fior lamp and one for fan

Thanks. So we can discount the switch. I wasn’t 100{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} about the fan (the replacement may have been faulty), so I took the original one and hooked it up directly to the mains, it spins fine, so that’s ok as well. So the problem may be the wiring that leads to the fan. I considered touching the terminals with the test meter while the fridge was switched on to see if there was a current flow, but then thought that might be a REALLY bad idea. Are there any fuses that might have blown ? I’m reaching the point where I just might rip the alarm off the control board !

[electrofix]

sometimes the use narrow tracks on board that blow like fuses

some boards do use fuses but in reality i can see it with this component

[bekodonegood]

As the problem seems to stem from the wiring to the fan, is there a safe way to test the contacts while the fridge is on ? Also can the wire be traced to it’s source ?

[electrofix]

you should be able to trace wires from the board and the door sw but since my wiring diagrams are wrong i cant be certain where they go to

Dave

[bekodonegood]

Hmmm, who knew fridges could be so complicated. I think I’m going to test the wires leading to the fan and go from there. If they are receiving power (unlikely), then I’ll have a look at the circuit board on the back.
