So I have this, I think is a Koolatron mini fridge that for the 2nd time suddenly stopped cooling, even though the fan works. (not even sure how this thing cools with just a fan and no cooler liquid).
It should be mentioned that the led does not go on when powered up, and stays off no matter what setting. But this used to be the case when it worked last time as well. Last time I opened up the fridge case, cleaned out the fan, and wiped the 'coil' (or whatever that cylinder shaped square in the middle's called), and even removed the coil then put it back, and when putting the fridge back it started cooling again, but not this time around.
When I this time around opened it up to try to repeat the last time's process, it still won't cool, even though as usual the fan works and has been cleaned. (again, last time's process was more random than specific, not sure what 'did it').
Also, the power switch, when set to the left (i.e. "Warm") it turns off the fan instead, and there's no 'click' sound between the different switch settings suggesting some part of the switch is lose (there might be a slight rattling noise inside), is there any suggestion or red flag based on that? Basically both 'off' and 'Warm' are now 'off'.
Or just overall, what is a likely cause for it not cooling when it seems to be running on no more than a fan which is working?
I've supplied some pictures which may or may not be helpful, but if another picture could help I'd be happy to provide it if someone let me know.
Thanks in advance
