I would say that the thermostat doesn't cut out.

i know that is probably it
but what do i do to fix it ???

 

[Softus]

If the thermostat is faulty, then this procedure will fix it:

1. Buy a new thermostat.
2. Remove faulty thermostat.
3. Install new thermostat.
4. Test new thermostat.
5. If new thermostat works, discard old thermostat in an environmentally friendly manner.

thats about as clear and precise as it gets. nice one

only trouble is i don't know what a thermostat looks like!
i suppose its linked to the dial somehow!
thanks for your help so far

I suggest that you complete step 1 first, then you'll have an idea of what you're looking for in step 2.

Don't forget to turn the appliance off before starting step 2. And you should do this when the compressor isn't running.

Don't worry about it cakeman - we're all human.
Well, all the others are, anyway.
