✅ How to replace the fridge thermostat?

✅ If your fridge does not cool and, however much you turn the thermostat up to maximum, you still do not hear the compressor start up again, you most likely need to replace the thermostat.

✅ This may be due to a fault in the part that regulates the temperature, so in this Bricopedia we are going to learn how to replace the fridge thermostat.

✅ It is not a common fault, but when the fridge is a couple of years old, some faults appear that make the fridge stop or stop cooling.

✅ Thermostats are usually located in boxes inside the fridge, which also serve as a support for the light that comes on when the door is opened.

✅ Thermostats work like a switch, opening or closing the flow of current to the compressor depending on the temperature inside the fridge.

✅ A well-regulated thermostat can help us with the electricity bill.

✅ If you are thinking of changing your fridge, remember to look carefully at the energy efficiency label. How to replace the fridge thermostat?

✅ Below, learn step by step how to replace the fridge thermostat. 1.

✅ Unplug the fridge from the power socket.

✅ You must always work with the power off unless the job requires otherwise.

✅ Remember what electrical precautions must be taken. 2.

✅ Remove the housing.

✅ This is where the thermostat is located.

✅ You will find four wires and the temperature probe.

✅ Those four wires are the live, the neutral, the earth and the connection to the motor.

✅ The most common thermostats have numbered electrical contacts, so that number 6 is the current output to the motor, number 3 is the current output for the bulb, and 2-6 is the current input.

✅ There are also thermostats with only two electrical contacts.

✅ In this case the connections are only current input and output, with the bulb connection left outside of it. 3.

✅ Note the position of the wires on the thermostat and disconnect them. 4.

✅ Remove the control knob to access the screw that holds the thermostat and unscrew it. 5.

✅ Remove the thermostat and the probe connected to it.

✅ On some models you may find that the probe is held by a cover on the rear wall. 6.

✅ Place the new probe through the hole from which you removed the old one until it reaches the stop. 7.

✅ Fit the new thermostat, making sure to place it in the same position as before, and tighten the nut. 8.

✅ Put the control knob back on. 9.

✅ Reconnect the wires in the same position they were in before. 10.

✅ Coil the probe.

✅ If the probe that comes with the new thermostat is longer than the old one, you can coil it around the thermostat, taking care not to bend it too much or break it, and not to let it touch the thermostat terminals. 11.

✅ Put the thermostat housing back in place, making sure the fasteners fit, and tighten the screw to secure it. 12.

✅ Finally, plug the fridge into the power socket and check that the compressor starts up again.
