Hi. I'm a mechanical engineer (sorry lol) and need a bit of help.
I have a board that has a failed transistor of some sort. The control board is in a fridge freezer and the component is related to the auto defrost where a mains voltage heater element is switched. I have changed out the heater as I think it may have short circuited. The transistor, type unknown to me, has clearly popped.
I'd like to try replacing it as the board is not available and the freezer being only 4 years old is working, albeit I have to manually defrost it twice a week.
Can anyone identify the part? Its made by STMicroelectronics but I can't match it. Or having done so, even an equivilent would do.
Any help would be much appreciated.
