Hi all.
Over the last few weeks my beer fridge hasn't been maintaining it's 12⁰c target. In the past the compressor has stuck and I've needed to give it a "kick" to get it going again, usually it then behaves for a good 12 months before it happens again. More recently, the compressor hasn't been sticking but even though the controller is in cool mode the fridge isn't running.
The only way now to get it going again is to unplug the controller (just turning it off doesn't work) for 5 mins or so. When I switch it back on the fridge kicks in after the 5 min delay and runs fine until the next time. This is the 2nd time in two weeks I've had to unplug the controller so is it just one of those things or is it showing signs of a more permanent failure?
Cheers Tom
