    UPDATE

    yesterday i had to defrost the fridge. i switched it off and open the freezer section to then use a hair dryer to defrost the ice that had collected.

    I also took the time to test the following items that i thought could have been faulty.

    The heater was tested – there was continuity across the points so that was a good sign.
    The temp sensor was tested too – it showed a reading of 5.1kohms at normal. i then placed the sensor in to a glass of iced water. the resistance incresed to about 10k
    the fridge freezer over heat protection was tested. I have two sensors and both showed continuity.

    So, please give me your feed back if you can on the results above. I am not sure what else i can try next?

    The fridge section and freezer section are working fine at the momenty. but this lasts for about 2 or 3 weeks before it starts to warm up the fridge. Obviously, the more the doors are opened the quicker there will be ice build up. so this fridge is just a spare fridge for cooling beer in.

    Thanks for your help.

    Thank you Dave.

    I have a check list of things to check in the frdide. the heater is one of them. I will do that today and report back with the results.

    how can i find out what the resistance should be on the compressor pins?

    here is a link to the data sheet for the compressor – https://srw.co.uk/acatalog//pdf/GL60TB.pdf

    thank you

    Thank you Tony for your reply.

    you are correct there are only a few parts that can go wrong (Compressor, relay, capacitor & cooling fan).

    what is the best way to test a compressor ?

    thanks
