I have an Indesit CG1305NF frost free fridge freezer that is not cooling the fridge or freezer.
I have done alot of research but am still not sure and need some expertise to diagnose.
When power is on but thermostat is off there is a low hum.
When thermostat is turned on the normal fridge noises start up and are there continuously.
The condenser gets hot.
The fan in the freezer compartment runs continuously.
The light works fine when door opened.
There is 240v supplied to the thermostat. Checked via meter.
There is also 240v being supplied to a red wire coming out of the thermostat when the thermostat is on. When it is off there is zero volts to the red wire.
I also checked what I think is the defrost timer by turning a screw until it clicked but no change.
So I am unsure whether this is a simple thermostat issue or something more complex.
Hopefully the above is enough for someone to help. Happy to try stuff or supply more into.
