Cubby Fridge Thermostate gone
Well after buying a new fan and a new Peltier plate it looks like the Thermostate has burnt out. After stripping the fridge to replace the PELTIER I found quite a bit of burning of the insulation foam around where the Thermostate is fixed. It looks like the tag that screws to the small heat sinc has broken off. See picture.
Does anyone know if I can buy a replacement Thermostate?

Well having failed to find a replacement Thermostate for my cubby box I decided I would try and fix it myself. I soldered the broken tag back onto the Thermostate, wrapped it in insulation tape, screwed it back onto the small heat sinc, put it all back together again and it seems to be working fine.
I'm not sure if I should take it out again and wrap the repair in heat proof tape as the part obviously gets hot.
When it malfunctioned the cubby box handle got warm, but all seem to be cool at the moment.
