    Hello fridge gurus. Hopefully this is an easy question to answer, it has me stumped but I’ve not looked into a fridge before (other than for beer obviously!)

    I have what seems to be a common problem for the SR-L3616 ‘cool n cool’fridge freezer. It cools down to -25c (checked with thermometer), cuts out and restarts when Mains switch is reset. I have opened it up and checked the defrost heater cable has continuity(as suggested somewhere online), the two yellow thermostats , (one in the air flow, one on the evap) have full range. There is a small device attached to evap beside thermostats which I don’t recognise which has zero resistance both when at warm air temp and at max cold. Is it some kind of switch? Is it the problem? Is it something else.

    Please help, all the dog food is defrosting and my dog will burst of it had to eat it all at once.

    The part you mention is a thermal fuse and should have continuity.

    This is the fault you need to replace it.

    Thanks for reply Bob. I’ve slightly misled you unintentionally. The fuse is OK, it has zero ohms reading. The heater about 8.4 k ohms. Any other suggestions, or bits to measure! Would be appreciated since the kids are now moaning their lollies have all been thrown out! Ta!

    It will be the thermal fuse faulty and needs replacing. The two sensors and heater sounds ok with the readings you have given.

    Well the thermal fuse arrived and I fitted and tested. Seemed to work during day and cycle between -22 and -16, but affected by people opening fridge regularly i suspect. overnight it went down to -28 again and tripped out.

    Any other suggestions?

    Thanks for suggestion r600a. What should the resistance reading be for a new one? The existing is about 8.4k ohms
    Thanks.
