Vitrifrigo 12 volt thermostat switch

Post by GilertGrape » Tue May 03, 2016 7:40 pm

Hi all
Recetly bought a Bongo and it has the AVA Leisure side conversion which is great but the 12 vold top loading compressor Vitrifrigo fridge seems to not be working quite right. I've emailed the company who no longer convert Bongos and they suggest it might be a fauty thermostat switch. Can anyone advise me of where I can get this part so that I can fit and see if I can get the fridge working properly asap. Where else will I store my wine??
Thanks in advnace for all your knowledge

I second penguin.

I have the same conversion/fridge. Mine wouldn't start up and they were very helpful in diagnosing the controller unit as faulty. They will also test components if you send to them.

Some trouble shooting videos they made were very useful too, shows how to bypass components to test them:
