50/50 Fridge Freezer Integrated

Please read the description carefully.

Model: Hoover BHBF172UKT Frost Free

The fridge-freezer is in good working condition, with one exception: it needs to be connected via either a timer socket or a temperature controller thermostat plug (an example is shown in the last photo and can be purchased from Amazon).

The issue is that the compressor does not switch off by itself, so the appliance continues cooling unless the power is controlled externally. Because of this, it needs a timer or thermostat controller to cycle it on and off. It still goes through its normal defrost cycles.

I have replaced the following parts, but unfortunately the issue remains:

Motherboard (VESTEL 20BD52 NOSW) – replacement made no difference.
1 × Vestel 32005313 sensor/fuse.
1 × Vestel 32029717 sensor/fuse.

I'm not sure what else would need to be replaced to fully resolve the fault.

For the past three months, we have been using it with a timer socket set to 1.5 hours on / 1.5 hours off, and it has maintained the correct temperature without any problems for our needs.

The buyer will also receive the replacement motherboard and both sensors shown in the photos.

If it doesn't sell, I'll probably keep it as a spare fridge-freezer for my shed.
