hi its CDA539FW i replaced the stat cause i couldnt get an answer to my other posts so thought i would go with a process of elimination 😉

Re: Fridge still defrosting 🙁

so you replaced the little potentiometer inside the fridge?
a little variable resistor pcb?
if you’re confident that the system is ok, then i’d also replace the pcb at the back of the unit at the top.

Yes mate fits inside the Light Housing

At the back of the fridge at the top. I’m not saying that’s definitely the fault, but if the system is good and it’s not regulating properly and you’ve changed the stat, then it’s a good bet.

Not really!
It’s a matter of diagnosing if the problem lies with the system, or the regulation of it. If, when the appliance does work, it works ok, then your system is probably fine and its the regulation (in this case pcb’s) that is to blame.
