Blueheeler Posted June 23, 2012 Report Posted June 23, 2012 Hi Feildsie, Sounds like the thermostat has failed. If the fridge is more than 5 years old I would regas it also to be on the safe side.Cheers,Blueheeler. Quote
RickA Posted June 24, 2012 Report Posted June 24, 2012 G`Day FeildsieWe replaced our thermostat and switch about 9 months ago(same symptoms).We had to get the part from a Camec Dealer in Canberra whose name escapes me now. But I did the job myself (so it must be easy) and the part was about $70.CheersRick Quote
