Hi mykickstart.
I did eventually replace the thermistor, but that did not fix my problem.
It was located at the top back of the freezer section.
Remove all the internal shelves and then back panel.
There is a connector panel with a thermal fuse and the thermistor.
The connector is a different type, but I was able to solder that back on, and was able to meaure its varying resistance up on the control board, so I know the connections were ok after I replaced it. There was just an open circuit beforehand.
But it didnt fix my problem ! I might need to buy a new control board, but they are just so expensive, and non-refundible if it doesn’t fix the issue.

https://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/f…f54170.524964/So now, i just run the whole FF on a timer switch, with on/off cyles for about 30 mins ON, 45 mins OFF
Overnigth I have set it 15 mins ON, 45 min OFF.
I have temp probes which show the temp every time I viist the fridge / freezer to check what its at.
Around 3C for fridge, around -18C for Freezer. Thats Ok.
During the summer I adjusted the timer cycles a bit.Cheers.
Hi K,
Does the blow-out show any of the layers or areas which may be removalable ?
Can you share it with me anyway, it may help me in dismantling the top fridge section.Cheers.
The circuit board is fitted inside the centre of the top of the fridge, with one multipin connector to wires disappearing into the void above.
The multipin connector then fans out to three connectors onto the circuit board.
I cannot attached a picture, as I have no storage available !So if anyone has any guidance on how to get into the surround of the unit, to follow the wires inside the fridge casing, it would be much appreciated.
Cheers.
