Hi again, thankyou for you advice on this, I did find the tally plate inside the fridge – its a KCM01, alhough the manufacturers hand book calls it an INC265A1UK – not sure if this sheds anyt more light on things?? Its still running “normally” in terms of doing its job in the freezer and fridge compartments now the timer is in control of running times/
Many thanks for your reply, it’s all electromechanical, the thermostat has a capillary tube which inserts into a tube in the top right of the unit and slides in around the back of the casing. It does not switch off even on 1, but if clicked off and then back to 1, it takes a while to restart and then rarely if ever stops again. In my mind the capillary is getting heat from the rear of the unit heat exchanger somehow and therefore isn’t working to the internal temperature?? Anyway, another blog suggested a temporary work around by using a 24 hour timer which I have done. It’s on for 30mins and off for 30mins daytime and on for 15mins and off for 45mins 11pm to 6am.
Temperature checks are now normal day and night 4-6’C fridge and minus 20-24’C freezer. So it’s a fix for now. I’m also providing better cabinet cool air at the cabinet base for ventilation as there has been none apart from the gap behind the cabinet since it was installed. Hope the thread will help others to make decisions
