Did anyone do it then?

Just got it thanks Mark :tup:

I’ll publish tommorow.

Thanks again..

off topic but I can’t believe you lot are still awake.

Ken may want to add some piccies of course 😀

I’ve added to Kevin’s “sticky” in the fridge forum, if anyone thinks it requires more publicity, please let me know .

Thanks again Mark

Dave, Is there any chance of a bit on about adequate cabinet ventilation. I see loads of Mistrals with blocked condensers where the dog sits in front and blocks it up with dog hair. The sympton is the freezer runs, cycling on the compressor overtemp stat and usually runs at -12 to -15 degrees (warm enough to bring on the overtemp light but not obvious where the fault is)

I don’t do refrigeration appliances now but I do know this is a very common fault that can easily be rectified by the customer without an engineer visit.

I think the sticky is brilliant. :tup: Just the right length without too much high tech talk.

Small typo. Second to last paragraph, second to last line. “cause” spelt “caus”

Small typo bobokines; second line, ‘sympton’ should be ‘symptom’ 😆

Re: Calling UKW Refrigeration Engineers

Excellent article, Mark, thank you. Can I just query one point? You say that thermistors can’t be tested, but if you measure their resistance while warming them up [or cooling them down] and it changes, that’s a fair indication that they’re working. Obviously you don’t know if the resistance range is right without the relevant info., but if there are 2 identical ones on the machine that tells you. I don’t think I’ve ever found one where the resistance still varies with temp. but the range has changed. Does it happen?
Thanks again for the article.

Typo corrected and a small paragraph added about ventilation 😀

Yes Geoff, we do know that but, the article is intended for the public and I didnt want to get too technicle on that sort of stuff otherwise we will get asked about the correct resistance readings and stuff which, TBH we dont know. Not sure any of the hotpoint ones are identicle as they have different part numbers and plug colours. Not sure about the your last point, but I have had, on laundry anyway, thermistors that check out ok on a meter but fail in use, maybe temperature related failures?

As for Bob’s dog hairs, it was a frost free article rather than general refrigeration, maybe someone else may want to write that one?
