Hi.
INSTALL THE JUMPER BETWEEN TWO WIRES OF THE COLD CONTROL (#9 on the diagram #3).
If you don't feel comfortable doing any electrical tests then may be you can run a continuity test, but you'll need a multimeter.
If you don't - then get both parts I've listed and replace them one at the time.
You can return any unused parts even if they been installed.

Thank you. Post the results.

Simon.
