THERMOSTAT DOES NOT WORK

What is the model number of your unit?

I would reset the breaker then check the power at the t-stat. Check to see if the t-stat is closing. And listen for a hmmm from the compressor. Also check to see if the evaperator is frozen up (it could give the t-stat a false reading of all else fails I would pull the fridge out and check the compresser if it is very hot to the touch it's pooped. Good luCk

Hi and welcome to FixYa, I am Kelly.

It seems odd that over the phone they could do an immediate diagnosis... It is possible as they may have experienced similar failures in the past. I also wonder what that part number is? (noun name) Switch, relay, Control? et al.
The service and parts manual is here for most all U-line wine coolers:

That part number is not in the manual. It may be a substitude part number.

The service manual is a bit odd for a service manual but... it should help you gain access to your part that needs replaced.

If the manual is not even close... please respond with a model number and I will look up model specific information.

Hi and welcome to FixYa, I am Kelly.

There is a wiring diagram inside the unit in the 3 x 5 or 4 x 6 tech data sheet envelope. Remove the lower grille and look on the inside chassis wall and the frame for the packet. It is inside some where but usually on the left side as you would face the unit door.

If you do not find it.. feel free to seek another expert as I do not have the service manual for the combo units. (I do have the manual for stand alone units)

Check to see if you have a little red reset button on your compressor motor that is popped up. If so, push it down and see if it works for you. If not, repost back here with model number so we can try to identify the fault.

The advice we provide here are primarily based on the information provided and on first hand experience. The accuracy of the advice depends on the amount of information. The more information provided, the more accurate the advice can be. Basic information includes the make and model of the appliance.

Good day,
You should first verify the age. There should be a 5 year warranty on the compressor. In your owners manual it might refer to it as a sealed system component or compressor.
Call your selling dealer and verify that. If it is, then have a service call performed by them, or an authorized repair station they use.

Check to see whether the ice maker has been turned off. Here's how to check. Look for a wire along the right side of the ice maker that looks a bit like a coat hanger. If this wire is in the raised position, the ice maker is turned off. On some units you simply lower the wire to the down position to turn the ice maker on. On others, you lower a small red plastic lever to lower the wire. If the wire is in the proper position check the freezer temperature, it should be between 0-8 degrees Fahranheit. If it is warmer than 10-12 degrees, the ice maker may not produce any ice. Check your door seals and thermostat, repair/replace as necessary.
icemaker is not making ice: Water Inlet Valve :-- Your icemaker's water inlet valve could be filled with ice. If it is, simply thaw the its water tube with a hair dryer to remove the blockage. Be careful to not melt any plastic parts with the blow dryer.An icemaker's water inlet valve has a filtering screen to block minerals and other debris from entering into your ice cubes. It is possible that the water inlet valve's screen is blocked, and not allowing any water through to make ice. Clean out any built up debris you find. You should be able to pop the screen out of place with a screwdriver and then put it back in place with the screwdriver again once it is cleaned.
Alternatively, the water inlet valve itself may have become defective. You will have to test it. If the test proves the valve is defective, replace it.
Defrost Thermostat:-- It could just be that your freezer thermostat is not set low enough. Try adjusting the thermostat to a colder setting.
Or your icemaker might not be making ice because of a defective defrost thermostat. Test your defrost thermostat to determine if it has malfunctioned. If it has, you will need to replace it.

This will help. Thanks please keep updated.please do rate the solution positively .thank you for using fixya

Does the freezer have an ice maker installed? If it does regardless if you have a water line running from it or not it will cycle from time to time weather it is turned on or not, If you dont have it hooked up and dont plan on ever using it you can disconnect it and remove it from your unit and gain some freezer space. All you should need is a philips screw driver~hope this solves your problem
