Johnson ministat fridge thermostat

[jhawkins1966]

The thermostat on my main 230v fridge (not 12v frigo box) will not come on again after reaching set temperature. Think need to replace the Johnson ministat JTAMH-3036 but can only find them in Spain or France who don't reply to emails. Anyone know of UK supplier or an alternative model of thermostat I can use. It has the probe on it and range of +35 to -35C, 3k differential (see attachment). Thanks

Try Dean & Wood. Branches all over the UK they should have a simple stat to do the job. Speak to one their tech guys.

Why use a tatty old mechanical thermostat? They only last a few years and soon look grotty with corrosion?

For about £50 you can get a top quality 12v electronic thermostat with temperature readout from Dixel. Look a whole lot better than one of those old units!

There are Chinese suppliers with ripoff copies for less than the price of a mechanical unit. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-Autom..._Measurement_Equipment_ET&hash=item337d63f9de

Bloody silly link policy!

If you read the OP he quite clearly states it's a 230v AC thermostat for which he's looking and £50 strikes me as being excessive.

Ummm, they make them in 230v too.

Mine has lasted 6 years so far and looks as good as day 1.

The op did ask for alternatives.

The Chinese rip off is a whole £9.99
