Hello,
I'm after a wiring diagram for a Kelvinator cyclic 380. Does anyone have one or know a site where I can easily get one?
Thankyou

If it's a cyclic it's not going to have much of a wiring diagram.
mains->thermostat->compressor->neutral
mains->doorswitch->light->neutral

Thankyou Paul,
The mains goes into the compressor body and there are 4 wires leading to the rest of the fridge. How do I determine which ones are for the thermostat?

Are they all different colours?
Have you taken the thermostat housing apart to see what colours goes to the thermostat?
Why do you need to know which ones are the t/stat?
I'm just asking because if there's no problem with the t/stat, but you are needing to know for other reasons:

with the door closed and the power off and the t/stat set to max cool, the two wires for the t/stat would be showing 0 ohms with a multimeter because there would be a closed circuit through the t/stat, and then go open circuit when you move the t/stat to the off position.
Disconnect all four first before testing, to make sure you haven't just grabbed two neutrals. Remember where they were connected though.
