Morning,
My fridge has decided to give up.
LEC TL55142W (444441946)
I have traced the fault to the compressor PTC starter switch which is burnt out. LEC want to replace the whole compressor assembly for nearly £500!!! or offered a discount on a new fridge!
Various switches are available on evil bay and spares web sites but nobody will commit to a replacement for this comp. My problem is matching the correct one to my compressor. LEC where little help... just kept referring me to Danfoss manuals however the compressor pre dates their contract with danfoss and is Chinese in origin.
Comp details are,
HUAGUANG A048371
240V 50Hz
ETZ60
Starter switches are listed with either Horse power rating or a resistance rating. Neither are indicated on the compressor so I can match the starter switch to it.
The one I have taken off has the following info on it,
TY-QZ-003
WB
0120323
Some Chinese suppliers of this unit are showing on Ebay but I would rather resource from a UK supplier.
These are a simple push on switch so you would have thought would be a consumable item.
Ebay has the overload and starter packs for less than £20 but I need help in resourcing the correct one please.
I am FGAS registered and IEE regs - electrically qualified but work on commercial air con / adiabatic cooling generally.. not home appliances. Any pointers would be gratefully received. I am all googled out!
Thanks
