This model has a fridge sensor/thermistor,embedded in the insulation not the standard thermostat.Resistance needs checking at pcb/control board terminals to establish if it is faulty,it means cutting away ome of the insulation at the rear to access it.Available from partmaster/espares/ukwhitegoods,instructions come with it but it is a pain to do.Cheapo made by Candy,nuff said!
Is it worth it?
