The fridge is a European version of a WhiteWestinghouse US fridge, but because of that the model number isn't listed anywhere. Here are a couple of pictures of the faulty thermostat. Can anyone suggest a suitable replacement ? This is a mains voltage thermostat (rather than a low voltage one as some seem to be). The Squares in the photo are 5mm (approx 1/5") Many Thanks. David

If that does not work. List the number List all info from the thermostat, this may help find an appropriate replacement for you re: on/off temps etc. What type of connectors are on the end of the thermostat and how long are the wires OR will you have to cut the wires and splice in the new one?

Cannot really blame them since they pay to run this site. If the UK shipping becomes a real hassle I would pull the thermostat and take it to a good appliance parts supply house. If you get an experienced person behind the desk, they will likely be able to supply a suitable replacement just by looking at it.
