Fridgemaster MTRL130

Hi everyone.

Bear with me i am not the most confident fridge engineer…. 😆

I have the above Larder Fridge which freezes up at the back regardless of what temperature is set on the stat. It freezes in little droplike formations. Is this normal??

Hi Technics

there is a service bulletin out regarding this fridge, i might have the wrong thermostat fitted, is it r600a or r134a refrigerant differant thermostats are fitted,

Cheers Bob.

No, this is not normal and is a very common problem.

If you just replace the thermostat with a standard VT9 it will solve it, most of the time anyway 😉

Yeah there is isn’t there, I forgot about that, there are a few with R134a units fitted, oddly enough though, untill the bulletin was released we were fitting the same stat to both and have not had any problems 😕
