Re: Electromechanical stat instead of control board

Apologies if I didn’t make clear that the inverter provides a.c. power and is not part of the fridge. Although the appliance is a domestic model, it works perfectly well on 230V a.c. provided by the inverter, and has done for years. The issue is that the inverter has to run to provide current to the fridge 24/7, just to power the control board. It’s certainly possible to run the fridge with the board by-passed, because I’m doing it at the moment with a d.c. powered interval timer which switches the compressor on and off via a relay. This makeshift arrangement obviously gives rather haphazard temperature control. I’m sure it will be possible to use an electromechanical thermostat to achieve better control, but it would save me some trial and error if I knew which stat was likely to be most suitable and where the probe is generally located in a wet wall fridge freezer.
