Fridge Thermostat Output
I have a Scandinova tall fridge, it has stopped working. The thermostat has four connectors on the back, brown / white / red / earth. With the fridge switched on and voltmeter between brown and the white or red connectors, I get 240v. At rear of fridge there is 240 v in from mains, some sort of box of tricks (with wires in from the thermostat etc) and then the output to the compressor. I get 55v from this with thermostat switched on and 27v switched off. The compressor is marked up "240v". Can anyone tell me whether this is a faulty thermostat or other problem please?

Hi there, it sounds like it could be the PCB itself - if the fridge has stopped working entirely it suggests something wrong with the 'brain' of the fridge. Generally speaking the most common symptom of a failed thermostat is the temperature in the fridge being too cold or too warm.
