Its prob. frozen up in th duct,but hoovers do have a problem with the pcb’s/defrost heater. I did a couple many moons ago but can’t remember the specifics now. Im sure r600a will have more info. 😕

..Go on get me into trouble…

Common fault is that over a period of time ice builds up and blocks th evaporator… By moving the defrost sensor that would normally be on the bottom right of the evaporator and cable tying it to the very top centre.This will therefore allow a slightly longer defrost which would normally cure the problem.

Defrost the complete unit for 36hrs with the freezer door open before moving sensor.

Thanks Bryan

Any chance of a diagram to show the pacing of the parts you speak about please… I know nothing about refrigeration

sensor at bottom right hand side of evaporator..release…reposition on top of evaporator..

No diagrams available…sorry..GIAS would deny any knowledge of problem
