Uline 75R refridgerator stopped working

The light worked so it was getting power. I used a electrical tester (pencil like device I bought at lowes) to figure out that power was making it to the thermostat (black wire) but not after the switch (blue wire).

To change the thermostat.

1) take cover off the front bottom and back panel of fridge.
2) unscrew the old thermostat. leave black and blue wires on it so you will know where to put them on the new one.
3) take out glass shelves on inside. Unscrew back panel. There are 2 phillips screws that hold the end of the thermometer to back panel.
reach hand under it and feed the thermometer back through hole and out back of fridge.You will notice a puddy like substance that fills in the hole in the back where the thermometer gets fed through. Make sure you keep it to fill in the hole in the back.
4) feed new thermometer end through hole in the back and install to back panel. Put the puddy back in the hole to insulate around it.
5) feed the electrical end of thermostat through bottom of fridge
6) take the wires off the old one and attach to the new one.
7) attach the thermostat to its mounting location
8) reinstall all the screws in the front and back and you are in business.

Had a hard time finding someone to service it. They wanted $200 to come out to the house + parts and labor.

The new thermostat cost $33 at All Brand appliance. I am from Mass and picked it up in Brockton. I emaile dU-line and they sent me the new part number. The allBrandappliance site had the old part number (2766-s)

I am not an electrician and this was a few hours work.

    I have the same issue, but can't figure out how to get the big coil on the part number 2766-s to go through the tiny hole the original (without the coil) went through. I tried un-coiling it, but the tubing broke.

    Had a new issue just a year back. The light had power but the fan and condenser wouldn't work. The fix was replacing a relay or control part (cant remember which). You need to take off the back and you can access these at the bottom. The price was < $20 I think.

MOTORCYCLE High Beams Work but Low Beams Don't

I know this is obvious but are you sure the bulb isn't just burnt out? Assuming that's not the problem get an electrical tester and set it on continuity. Then test first the switch in both high and low positions and then the wiring to the bulbs. If everything tests ok glu a tiny piece of sandpaper to the end of a pencil ersaer and lightly sand all the contacts.

I had bought the electric pressure cooker 2 months ago and was working fantastic, suddenly it stopped working this week and there is no power light even coming up - PLEASE help

Probably the main wire is faulty or the fuse has blown out.open the cooker from below
{find,check the fuse with a continuity tester}do check the main wire with the help of a continuity tester too for any kind of breakage.If there is no continuity or the tester bulb does not light up there is a fault with the component.Replace the wire/Fuse with the same rating or quality and your cooker will surely work

Small refrigerator stopped working 75r

You have 2 wires. Unplug and put wires together. Plug unit back in and check to see if everything is running. Doesnt matter where the wires go with a 2 wire thermostat

GSS23SGSBSS my ice maker stopped working on my refridgerator

It could be a few different things causing this. FIlter in the water line may be plugged, the circuit itself may have gone bad, the water lines froze, or the bar or it's circuit may be stuck of faulty. The best way to determine is to use a multi-tester and check to see if the unit is getting power, and to where and when the power is stopping.
