Default Fridge Freezer Problems

Hi,

I have an fridge freezer that I bought from MFI a couple of years ago,

model
is APM6825, but I assume these are rebranded from another manufacturer.

Anyway, its an all in one frost free jobby, compressor and all the gubbins
is in the freezer compartment in the bottom half. The fridge door was left
slightly open for about 8 hours and now the whole thing seems to have shut
down, there is no motor sound, no noise at all and no freezing going on.
Light in the fridge works so there is power.

I'm presuming that this is one of the components burning out or freezing

up.
Its happened before, but righted itself after a couple of hours. This time
it hasn't.

Anyone got any idea what it could be and if its possible to fix myself.

Thanks in advance

Mark



Temporally bypass the thermostat and see if the compressor starts up. If so,
you can run the unit using a timeswitch set to about a 25% on to off ratio
whilst you get a new stat. if it does not freeze fully then increase the
duty cycle, if your milk is freezing up then reduce it a bit.

www.cpc.co.uk sell a range of replacement thermostats for general use.
You might want to buy yourself a fridge alarm to help detect the cause early
on!!
