Posted January 8, 20232 yr Good day to all, Symptoms were as follows, 1. Front lights flashing erratically. 2. Compressor not cycling. (stays on 24/7) 3. Evaporator freezing up. 4. Interior fan not working. 5. No response from any front control panel. What I did was, 1. Disconnected the entire pc board. (Actually broke it out due to hot glue everywhere) 2. Connected the compressor directly to an aftermarket thermostat. 3. Reconnected the fan and interior light to the door switch. Now, as per the attached wiring diagram, How the bugger does the auto defrost work? It seems that it is connected directly to the live and neutral. As far as I know the auto defrost usually goes to a little timer that will disconnect the compressor and relay power to the heater for an amount of time. I can not see this circuit in the diagram. Or am I just totally stupid?
January 13, 20232 yr Author Good day, Sorted out. Fitted 2x stc-1000's to my fridge and freezer, and a MTD-8 to the freezer to defrost the ice every 12 hours for 20 minutes. Still don't know how the fridge defrost works, but if I keep the temperature between 2-4 Celsius there is no ice buildup and the beers are nice and cold The stc-1000's a wonderful little devices and cheap. I will be fitting this to an old Kelvinator fridge freezer soon.
