    Thanks, I will look into testing it later. How do I access the control board? Where is it?

    Wow,Dave, that makes more sense, well worth risking £25. The Amazon supplier would not deliver to Isle of Man, but Ebay yielded the same item at £25:19.
    When you refer to a test run, is this something that can be achieved by key presses, or does it need a manufacturer’s test device. I never established if the fan motor was a mains supply, low voltage DC or what. Do you know? I could pull the unit out now whilst I await delivery, and perhaps do some testing. If speed controlled, what is method of control. I am not certain where the control unit is, but could remove and check for obvious stuff, though that rarely yields anything these days when control of everything lies in computer code within a chip.
    When we first bought it, SWMBO was “over the moon” with its performance, capacity, and (for me) lower energy use. If I can understand its working, I will be less inclined to consider scrapping it, which I was almost resigned to earlier. Many thanks, Les.

    Quite sure. The last attempt it stood over one week with doors open, but was back at _30 C (actually, lower) by the end of day after switch on. No time for ice build up. I am convinced it is either the fan, or whatever tells it to come on, go off or whatever. Les.
