Re: Bosch SGS43A12GB has no power (no lights)
Thanks Martin. As I said in my original post, the module shows no signs of burning or other damage. It is an expensive part so i wouldn’t take the risk of fitting a new one unless I was sure that was he cause of the problem.
On the other hand I’m reluctant to scrap an otherwise immaculate machine.
Is there any way I can test the module?Re: Bosch SGS43A12GB has no power (no lights)
Kwatt. Would a faulty door switch result in no lights whatsoever on the display?

Bryan. Thanks for your reply.
If R600a is more efficient than R134a and the compressors are similarly priced, have you any idea why the engineer should have wanted to switch?
Also can you answer my other question – would raising the postion of the thermostat sensor make the fridge run warmer or cooler?

The engineer came back on Friday and fitted a thermostat with a longer tube, thereby enabling him to fit the sensor at a higher position inside the fridge. Unfortunately the fridge is still running too cold.
Was he right to raise the position of the sensor? It seems to me that raising it to a warmer part of the fridge would have the opposite effect! Surely lowering it would make the compressor cut out earlier? I’m confused!
kwatt and spimps. Yes, he changed the original Danfoss compressor running on R600a for another Danfoss one running on R134a. He told us the reason was that R134a was a much better gas. I took “better” to mean more efficient. Out of interest, would a compressor for R600a cost the same as a compressor for R134a?
Re: Compressor replaced but still have problems. Opinions pl
The engineer has just called me back and is coming to look at it today.
He suggests that it needs a thermostat with a longer capillary tube so that it can me mounted higher up inside the fridge.
Sounds plausible to me, so hopefully that will solve the problem.Re: Creda T312VW belt replacement
Hi Iadom
Many thanks for your quick reply.
I found the screw under the timer knob then broke 2 of the plastic lugs on the control panel, but at least I can get at things better with the front panel out of the way.
Now I have to work out how to get the drum back on to rear mount, then I can tackle the belt.
