Fridge Freezer repair

JohnRo

Beko Fridge Freezer - 15 years old - never had any problems. It packed in a couple of days ago.

I've had a look, haven't done any continuity or resistance tests on the compressor itself yet as I need to get hold of a multi meter but in the mean time had a quick look at replacement parts and I'm struggling to find anything not shipped from the USA.

The relay is the thing I'm hoping is causing the issue, however I cannot source one online from a UK supplier.

The compressor is an LG unit and the relay has the code P330MD OR0105

The only thing I can find is on ebay and shipped from the USA, is a relay that looks exactly the same with the code P6R8MC OR1001

Can someone in the know please give me any pointers as to how I might get this relay replaced, assuming that's the problem.

Have you had a look on http://www.espares.co.uk/ ?


No, I don't work for them, but I've used them several times and always been very pleased. They don't stock absolutely everything, but they do seem to stock lots of bits for lots of makes.


<edit> Is this any good http://www.espares.co.uk/product/es1247429/refrigerator-relay?pageNumber=1&SearchTerm=lg%20relay ? Use the "Does it fit" search facility.

Fridge Model is BEKO CGA966 WH

The espares 'does it fit' panel tells me it does but the image of the part they're displaying looks nothing like the relay I'm seeing on my fridge.

My relay looks exactly like this

The problem is it's housed in a control box that won't accommodate anything not that shape.
