Thermostats
Thermostats and thermistors control the cooling in fridges, freezers, and fridge freezers. Older analogue thermostats use a phial to switch the compressor on and off, while newer electronic systems use NTC thermistors for precise temperature control. Faulty units can lead to poor cooling, over-freezing, or appliance stress.
Understanding Thermostats
Analogue Thermostats: Simple on/off devices with a temperature-sensing phial. When faulty, the appliance may stop cooling or over-freeze. Older models may also have live feeds for internal lighting.
Electronic Thermostats: Use NTC thermistors that change resistance with temperature. More accurate than analogue thermostats, but still prone to occasional failure. Incorrect readings can result in incorrect appliance temperatures.
Can't Find The Thermostat You Need?
Thermostats vary by model, production run, and type. Provide your appliance model or a photo of the old thermostat, and we’ll help you locate the correct replacement. Low-cost compatible options may also be available.
Contact Support TeamUniversal Spare Parts.
Universal spare parts are generic components designed to fit a wide range of models. They provide a low-cost alternative to original parts, though some applications may require DIY skills or modification to fit correctly. These spares are particularly handy in situations where you have limited options.
What You Need to Know
Universal spare parts are often versatile and inexpensive, but they are rarely exact like-for-like replacements. It is important to understand their limitations and be prepared for minor adjustments during installation.
Pros & Cautions
Universal parts can save significant money and are widely used by appliance technicians. However, they may not always be exact replacements, and some experience or patience is needed to install them successfully.
