Klarstein thermoelectric mini fridge stopped cooling.

[Triiickie]

Hi

I wonder if anybody has further knowledge or can help me with my query on how to fix my mini fridge which has suddenly stopped cooling. Rather than re-write my issue posted elsewhere, it would be fantastic if somebody closer to the UK could help. I'm happy to post the circuit board if need be.

All the details are here:

Anything that could help me would be amazing.

Hello,

Strange, I have answered the question before.
The second fan only runs when the cooling unit is active.

Is the temperature regulator in working order?

Hi. That is a new one on me. How would I identify that and check? There is also a post here:

Hello,

On the PCB there is connector CN7 (it mentiones K next to it).
Is that connected to the thermostat?

If it is connected to the thermostat, take it off and see if it reacts with a multimeter in ohms range , with the measuring pins on that connector , when you turn the thermostat knob.

Hi. I'm showing my novice(ness) now. So I unplug that connector and use the multimeter (ohms is turn dial right?) on the plug part of the wire (red on one and black on other) or on the socket on the board. Guessing fridge needs to be turned on.

Hello,

Take the plug off and put the measuring pens in the plug:

Hello,

I also want to mention, that it is not a thermo electric cooler, but a compressor.
On the lable there is stated R134a/40 g, wich is a coolant for a compressor.

There are thermoelectric units which use freon.
