If you only have two leads, connect them to 6 and 4 on the new one 😉
The earth will remaim the same.
Hope this helps.

Re: stat details needed
hi,
Assuming the stat is the fault and this is a fascia mounted thermostat….
A universal stat will not do the job as the “d shaft” is out of alignment with the original.
The right hand clip(looking from the back of the appliance) that holds the body of the stat to the fascia, can interfere with a lever on the edge of the stat body, the lever sticking through the body of the stat stops the stat diaphram from switching correctly.
If you provide model number we(DAVE) can look up the part for you.
There are two wires plus earth and they connect to no4 and no6 positions on the stat.

Re: stat details needed
many thanks for the rapide response guys,,the stat is identical to the original apart from the wiring conection 6 which is present on the universal but not on the original the numbers for the stats are original :K59 P6808 (Ranco) and K59 L1102-002 (Ranco) the only major length is the capillary @ 72mm on the original and 1200mm on universal however i was assured that if i looped the capillary around back plate and terminated in the same place as original all would be ok,,i have run the F/F over night nice build up of ice around back plate but still no cut off running all the time,,if its not the stat what could it be it shuts off and restarts ok with defrost switch on the stat 😯 😕 the F/F itself is a LEC T-424-SL as per the original post,,many thanx for your help and time so far,,

Re: stat details needed
you need to wire the stat on 4 and 6 not 3. 3 is the light/defrost heater position on the universal stat, if you are using this it will not switch off.

Re: stat details needed
hi there
have been reading all the replys to your problem glad you have solved it but should have bought a vxo ranco service stat as the temp range of the stat you had would have been to low causing the problem you had ie.,getting to cold and not switching off Lec have always been different from most other makes in that the spindle position is in a different place but service stats are ok if you can put up with this
