Blomberg Freezer ? thermostat stuck

[admin]

HI
I have a Blomberb large upright freezer approx 5 yrs old.
It is kept in a good position with plenty of air circulating round the back. – same site for 2 yrs with no problems.

Recently i have found that the motor keeps coming on and if i “thump” the front of the freezer it stops!

I am guessing that it could be a thermostat problem. Is this easily repaired ? I do know an electrician who could maybe look at it but would appreciate your advice first.
Regards
Roda

Without the model I can’t be certain if this is a frost free or not but it does sound like it.

Hi dave

Sorry i forgot to mention that it is frost free – five drawers.
I have just removed the sticker from the bottom inside of the freezer….it says: model CUFN 200 class no 9609701b0
gross capacity 0.185..(?!) net capacity volume 1 146
freezing capacity kg/24h 12

Hope this is of some help!!

Thermostat part number is 45X6165, about £29 + VAT + P+p from Comet. Dave should be able to find a suitable alternative for you at a rather more favourable price in the morning.

Thanks for that prompt reply!
i shall look forward to hearing from Dave in the morning

One stupid question though….do i have to replace the thermostat or would it be fixable?

Thermostats are effectively sealed units, so not servicable. Replacement only option.

It’s extremely difficult to find a vaguely efficient freezer……… 🙄

Unfortunately I can’t come up with a better price on this one, even direct from the manufacturers, same price 🙁

The likelehood is a generic one will fit, which will mean removing the thermostat (power off of course) and posting any numbers you can find stamped on it.

THanks to both of you for all your help.
Anyone want a freezer with stuck thermostat?!

I get the feeling that maybe I should look around for a replacement…this one is chewing all my electricity!

On a serious note though, i shall get in touch my electrician friend and ask him to take a look. After showing him all the help you have given……will keep you posted
