    Any help appriciated on my F/F 8596P. The freezer is working fine but fridge not getting cold and temp on display showing 18c.

    I suspect Thermostat but could it be anything else? Also how easy to fit. I am ex Office Equip engineer so have some savy although only done the odd job on Domestic stuff and lived to tel, the tale!

    Thanks in advance

    Toby – Go into the search section above, type 8596 and then read the posts covering this model. Initially, defrost the appliance thoroughly and see if that clears up your problem. If not get into the technical detail.

    Many Thanks but s and update:

    After leaving the first post with the freezer woorking but not fridge, I chanced a fridge thermister and ordered one at £12

    Then went out for two hours. On my return wify told me that bread and lollipops in Freezer are going limp (I know the feeling luv)
    I then read your reply and duly checked other post’s.

    Went back to F/F and felt grill at the bottom It is warm and feels like air comiong out.
    Then removed all Freezer trays and put F/F on Fast Freeze. Then saw frosty mist coming out the vent at the back.
    The freezer temp at this stage was -13 and friegd still on 19c

    I also at this stage felt the vent in the top right of fridge and no cold stuff is a coming out

    Can I asume that fan is working? and that my thermostat theory was wrong? I dont think its Evaporater stat down as it would show error code in disply would it not?

    Comp must be working as misty frosty stuff comiong out and no clicking buzzing noises?

    Any further help gratefully appriciated by a keen DIyer

    PS Great site
