You are probably long gone, but in case anyone else is searching on this issue, yes the shaft is now shorter on a SMEG A1-2 selector switch as well. The SMEG shaft extension is no longer available but you can find suitable extensions if you search.
I found one on ebay. “EGO 47.72018.000 SWITCH SHAFT SPINDLE KNOB SHAFT EXTENSION 18mm 28mm”
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/EGO-47-72…0/142343731671
I had to cut the extension shaft on this down to 10mm length that goes into the knob, so when fitted it provides 11mm of extension to the 31mm shaft of the new selector switch giving a total length of 42mm. The original length was 40mm so the knob will be only 2mm proud. I added a 2mm spacer between the selector switch and the cooker front panel to make the fit exact!

Without the shaft extension the knob is likely to fall off or break after a while.

Re: thermostat connections

Final post to say thanks again.

Finally seems to do what it’s supposed to do!

If it is not attached to the evaporator the tube / thermostat will not get cold enough to turn the fridge off.

OK – so need to unscrew evaporator (that’s the large plate at the back?) & fibnd clip(s)?

Will try tomorrow.

Why don’t posts on this forum have a ‘thanks’ button? ‘Cos you guys are really helpful!

Re: thermostat connections

1.
The sensor tube did not seem to have a particular position. I simply pushed it behind the… (not sure what it’s called – large metal cold plate on the back interior of the fridge). That’s where I pulled the original one from.

2.
Might moving the light switch off brown/stat 6 to Black/stat 4 sort the light?

Re: thermostat connections

Many many thanks all. I’m making progress.

Brown to stat connector 3 (& black to 4) and nothing came on.

Brown to stat connector 6 (& black to 4) and compressor and light came on.

Only 2 probs now!

1) fridge gets really cold even on lowest (warmest) setting – water freezes. However the compressor does switch on/off, just stays on too much.

2) when the compressor switches off, the light switches off too. (brown goes to light switch as well as stat 6).

Re: thermostat connections

Well that didn’t work either. But I now suspect that what I thought was the connector to the compressor may be the connection to the light bulb. This is different to the connector to the light switch.

So maybe that’s what the black wire in the cable is? conecting back up the cable from the stat to the compressor?

Why is none of this clear from the various wiring diagrammes?

Re: thermostat connections

Latest attempt reulted in compressor running, but stopping when the door was closed!

I really appreciate your help,but still not quite there

Brown mains comes into the stat and feeds the lamp switch
blue is the neutral and is only needed to power the lamp
black is the switch wire. Takes the live to the compressor. when this is live compressor runs when its not it stops

Back does not make sense to me – You seem to be saying it connects the stat (4?) to the compressor, yes? However, black is one of the incoming wires in the main cable (along with blue, brown and green).

At present I am using
Brown from cable to stat (6)
Brown from cable to lamp
Blue from cable to compressor
Black from cable to lamp
White from stat (4) to compressor

Plan to try swopping blue and black, though not sure what difference that will make if any.

Re: thermostat connections

So the full history:
Fridge stopped working and suspected the stat.
Bought new stat (elsewhere).
Wired it in exactly as the original and fridge started but remained on constantly.
Supplier offered full refund.
Bought new stat from UKWhitegoods
Wired it in exactly as the original and fridge started but remained on constantly.
Discussed wiring with UKWhitegoods and tried re-wiring based on wiring diagramme
Fridge does not start.

My conclusion is the original stat had a fault. The replacement stats have no fault. The wiring is the issue.

Originally connectors 6 & 4 had wires, and UKWhitegoods tell me “4 is the compressor feed. 6 is the live feed in. Goes onto the light switch.”

Part of my confusion is the incoming wires:
Brown I assume is live.
Blue = neutral.
Green = earth.
Black = ……??

Re: thermostat connections

That’s what I initially did. Connected up the new one exactly as the old one had been connected.

Fridge came on – and stayed on. No thermostatic control so it just got colder and colder……

Re: thermostat connections

1
from mains:
Green to stat earth connector
brown to stat 4
black to stat 6 AND connected to light switch
Blue to compressor

From light switch:
white to compressor

2
Ah! Multimeter……

Re: thermostat connections

Thanks — yes I’ve seen that online. But can’t work out which wire is which. Particularly as it seems to only show 2 wires incoming (I assume earth is in therre too – that’s not a problem). But I have 3 incoming wires:Black, Blue, Brown.
