Fridge Thermostat for Scandinova 7054 Fridge/freezer

[Scan]

The fridge thermostat only works after sharp application of the wrong end of a screwdriver! There is no “click” as it is turned from min to max unlike the Freezer control which has 2 positive clicks. The switch unit is made by Danfoss with lots of numbers stamped on the holding case. So the question is:
1. Can I replace this by isolating, removing connections and sliding out tube and sensor then relpacing.
2. Where can I purchase the relevant part.
3. Are there any other checks I should make to prove this assumption is correct.

I would rather pay for the parts than replace an otherwise excellent fridge freezer.

thanks.

Re: Fridge Thermostat for Scandinova 7054 Fridge/freezer

Do you mean fridge and freezer have seperate thermostat?

Is it cooling properly, becuase if it is not cooling the thermostat will not click.

The thermostat will have a K?? no like K59, K50 etc etc on the side

Find that out and let us know

The stat can be checked with a meter by checking for continuity between terminals 3 and 4 when in the ‘on’ position. Being a Danfoss stat the only number on it will be a long one OB*********** but these are simply known as a kit 3 stat.

Have a look at Shop@ for a replacement, if no luck then an email to Dave_Conway on spares@ukwhitegoods.co.uk will sort it.

Alternative stat that will do the job is a Ranco K59 but it needs a longer capillary rather than the standard one (VT93 rather than VT9 IIRC?)

Previously this fridge worked intermitently.
Have fitted replacement VT93 thermostat to fridge part of Scandinova fridge /Freezer.
Have had it running for a few days and it does not swith off.
Tried it at various settings.

Connections are 3-BR live, 6/2-BL to compressor, 4 BR Common.

The capillary went in with no problems and is held by the plate onto the back panel within the fridge. There are no kinks I am aware of.

Switching on the thermostat brings on the compressor.

Any suggestion or more information I can provide.

Thanks

Re: Fridge Thermostat for Scandinova 7054 Fridge/freezer

The problem is you’ve connected the new stat up the same way as the old one! Ranco stats have a different numbering system (really helpful)…the live feed should connect to 6, the compressor to 4 and the common on 3. If you look in the box that the new stat came in, often there is a wiring diagram for reference?

Once again, plug out before doing anything :zap:
