    Hotpoint FZA34G 60cm under counter freezer

    This seemed to start after the electricity was cut twice for maintenance

    The freezer will not reach -18°C
    Freezer works as normal down to -10°C
    It maintains this temperature
    Pressing fast freeze does not work
    Compressor tries to start but fails

    I changed the capacitor but no change

    Tested the thermistors by pressing fast freeze when door is open and then closing it
    All thermistors seem OK

    Took panel off inside of freezer to check evaporator
    No excessive ice and fan works

    Any advice on where to go next would be appreciated,

    Regards
    Mark
