Thermostat connections

[TheSultan]

Hi all,

I'm replacing the thermostat as part of a vintage fridge restoration and conversion, an I am having trouble figuring out how to connect it. It is a Danfoss type 3 thermostat and it has three terminals marked 3, 4 and 6. Anyone knows which ones to use?

By the way, I know that most people uses an external more accurate thermostat, but I want to keep as much as possible of the original look-and-feel.

Cheers,
Mattias

Just after submitting this post I found the answer on an appliance forum (thanks Google):

"Assuming you know which wire is your live supply, normally the brown, that will go on (6)
One of the black wires will be your return feed to the compressor (4)
The other black wire will be for the light, you should find it connecting to the light switch (3)"
