855377P Genuine Fridge Thermostat Harness Kit for Fisher & Paykel Fridges N388R N388L N388RXFD N388LXFD N388RMFD N388LMFD N210 N308

Burnt or broken thermostat wiring in an N388 fridge calls for harness kit 855377P, the genuine Fisher & Paykel part covering the N388L and N388R and their MFD and XFD versions. The N210, N210L and N308 are also on file. The kit carries the wiring for the freezer and fresh food thermostat controls, so it's the part to order when those connections have burnt or broken.

Fridge cooling on and off? Check the thermostat wiring

The thermostat harness links the temperature controls to the rest of the fridge's electrical system. Heat, moisture and years of vibration can corrode terminals, melt connectors or crack the insulation. Faults tend to be intermittent at first, with the fridge cooling one day and warm the next, clicking on and off, or not starting at all. Discoloured plugs and a burning smell around the controls are warning signs, so unplug the fridge straight away if you notice them.

Fitting the harness kit

Unplug the fridge at the wall before touching any wiring. Take clear photos of each connection on the old harness, then move the wires across one at a time so nothing gets mixed up. Secure the new harness away from cold surfaces and sharp edges. This is mains wiring, so if you're not confident, have a qualified appliance technician fit it.

Questions about this part

Will the harness fix a fridge that isn't cooling?

Only when the wiring is the fault. A failed thermostat, fan, defrost part or sealed system problem can cause the same symptoms. Look for burnt or loose connectors first, or have the fridge checked by a technician.
