It could be a number of things Steve to be honest.

I can’t access the Electrolux tech website tonight as it appears to be undergoing some maintenance……

Is the unit frost free ? (I think it is) If so, try a total defrost as the freezer section may be blocked with ice restricting the cold air from reaching the fridge section, check for obvious air inlets and outlets (vents) in the fridge please before doing this as some frost free units have a conventional fridge evaporator 😉

Re: electrolux er2944b fridgefreezer fridge part warm

OK, I have the info now.

It isn’t frost free as you say and it may well be the fridge thermostat as this unit has a solenoid device that diverts/sends gas to the fridge when required.

Part number is 2112680000 at £27.33 inc VAT and delivery.

If you’re unsure though and need a definite diagnosis, check Repairs@ for an engineer, or if you decide to check yourself, power off first please :plug:

I can order the thermostat for you, an email to spares@ukwhitegoods.co.uk please.

hi, thanks very much for the reply, i can confirm it is the thermostat, i have bridged two wires on the faulty original and the fridge has kicked in o.k. ! , i had already ordered a universal thermostat this morning b4 your post, if it does not do the trick i will order the one on your link. again , thanks very much for all your help, steve.

Steve, you will definatley need the genuine thermostat on this one, a universal stat wont work.

hi, well guys, the universal stat arrived this morning and i can confirm it is a load of sh!te. it does not have the single pole changeover switch fitted to the original but in stead an arrangement of two series switches ! the original is on its way 😳 , thanks to all.

It’s perfectly suitable for the purpose it was intended, hence the reason I didn’t suggest it as it is not suitable for your model 😉

Please feel free to return it for a refund as long as no attempt has been made to fit it 🙂
