Re: Admiral GS2126PEDW/19 Fridge/Freezer . . .Fridge Problem

Just had a similar problem with my unit.
Do not assume that it is the element, it could be the timer at fault. The timer kicks in every 24 hours or so and then activates the defrost element.
To test that the physical side of the timer is working, you can carry out a manual check.
Remove it and with a slotted screwdriverturn the mechanism [in the obvious place untill slot lined up with the pre marked line [it should click to activate circuit /to turn on heater]
now set the unit just befor it clicks on and refit unit and power back on. The fan should be running untill the timer once again clicks [you may have to wait a few mins] then the fan turns off and the heater turns on [you will see it melting the ice.
This proves the timer is o.k
if meter tests show that the element is o.k then the problem is with a faulty thermostat [attached to heater] very rarely there is a intermittent fault here[although it has happened twice with me !
Good luck ! 😀 😀 😀 😀
