Hi All,

Can anyone help with a Thetford fridge freezer (3 way auto change with display between freezer and fridge) problem? I am in Spain and have been running the fridge on gas. Yesterday the fridge went very cold even though it was on the lowest setting (1 blob). Switched it off over night but on switching it on this morning and I get Error code 13. Google suggests it is the thermisor and shows it attached to the fins, I have checked the connections and all seem ok . Opened the 2 vent panels outside and checked for loose connections but all seems good. The water trap was full so emptied it. Local expert who visits the site charges £90 call out and seems to like suggesting he fits a new fridge at almost £2000! The unit was checked and serviced in September inc the gas jet and all good.

Any suggestions welcome. (The weather has not been hot at around 16 degreed when sunny!)
 
Success! It was the little thermistor that clips onto the fins in the back of the fridge. It is easy to unclip from the fin and the wiring loom and just as easy to replace! The part is called a Thermistor and the part number is 623077 - supposed to be common to many of the Thetford fridges. Got it for 20 euros locally, and have seen it next day delivery for about £22 on Amazon.

Hope this helps anyone with the same issue.
