Help. Fridge thermostat bypass!

[BeerCat]

I happily bypassed the thermostat on one of my fridges but this one has an extra wire. I have an earth and also a purple, brown and black wire. Beer is only getting down to about 9c so i really need to do this. Thanks

I followed the (very clear) instructions on this video and now i have bypassed the thermostat and the light still comes on when i open the door. This fridge is exactly the same as mine with the thermostat inside. A very simple job. Hope this is useful. I remembered i had watched this before after i posted

with both fridges i bypassed the thermostat in i traced the wires back to the compressor itself, in both cases iirc the brown live feed had returned from the thermostat on a black wire, so feeding my fridge with an earth neutral and live feed connected to yellow/green, blue, and black in my fridges worked to switch on and off the compressor by 2ndary controller(stc1000+) However the LIGHTS DID NOT WORK when the door was opened .. fair trade off for me

Thanks mate i hadn't thought of that. I decided last night after yet another not cold enough beer to sort it out. The light only works when the fridge is on. I wont be opening it too often once i get the taps (hopefully). :)
