It is a Bosch larder fridge, about 8 years ancient. With the thermostat set at its coldest the temperature is usually between 0 deg C and 4 deg C, but it sometimes drops to minus 2. Previously it stayed at just about 4 deg on a middle setting on the dial. An engineer said it be caused by the compressor human being out of gas and that it would not be worth repairing. From things I have read I consider it might be a faulty thermostat. How can I let somebody know? If it is the thermostat is it easy to obtain a new one and fit it?
Answers: economically, to be honest it could be one the the two mentioned reasons. the thermostat could be tested near a multimeter. you could get replacement parts at an electrical supply store or an appliance repair shop
Sounds resembling classic symptoms to me. Go to a decent electrical supply shop and notify them the make and model. It will be on a small metal plate, usually on the stern.
They will probably be able to update you how to install it. I know when I did one, it was a piece of cake. Good luck.
