would a defective thermostat on an RLA80 larder fridge cause the light to not work as well as the compressor not to run?

The fridge is still maintaining a constant 4 degree temperature and you can feel the cold air as you open it but the light does not work and the compressor does not run. All bulbs, fuses checked and replaced to no avail. a suggestion was a defective thermostate, is this the case?

    The compressor must be working or the temperature would increase. Although the light is switched through the thermostat to turn it off when switched off it is more likely for the problem to be the door switch.
