Fridge getting too cold?? Indesit BA-10

[mrsail]

Hi, I have recently bought a second hand Indesit BA-10 fridge freezer.

Since turning it on I have the following problem:



On turning on the fridge gets very cold and ices up....
when you switch the temperature controller to "OFF" then back on again (to minimum) you can hear the fridge stop and after a while will come back on.... it then goes to a reasonable temp..
The fridge then works for a week (max) and freezes over again until you repeat above?

Is this the thermostat? or would it be something else?

Any help appreciated as a novice on this!

thanks
J

Getting 2 cold problem usually a result of thermostat. It's either the thermostat is faulty or the sensor is not fixed properly in the correct place. Check the thermostat wiring connection to the compressor and also 2 the cooler compartment's defrost heater

it seem to be the thermostat that is faulty
