Hotpoint FF72P

[Rimmer]

Hi All – New to the Forum and very hopeful it will help me with a few problems that Hotpoint ( here after known as useless ) have been un-willing or unable to.

I have a FF72P that has a LCD tempreture display for the freezer compartment,if i load the freezer from Tescos the tempreture gradually gets higher and the alarm comes on,i have to put my portable fan in front of the condenser to get the temp down,once the tempreture is -22 it stays there quite happily

Now i know it has a condenser fan at the back and when i check it under those conditions its red hot and stopped,saying that everything at the back is red hot.

Questions >
– should that fan always run?
– Is there a uprated fan / motor as it doesnt seem up to the job.
– Anyone else had this problem?

It says its thermally protected which seems a bit daft when it draws air from the condenser.

Hi
I thought i would have got some kind of interest even if its chuck it away.

The Condenser fan motor is a Plaset – Italy Model 13082, 1500 rpm, 0.042A.

I cant relate that to anything on the various sites,any one able to tell me what motor i need and where i can get one please?

Have a read of this – every fact known about the Mistral range is discussed in depth:

The fan motor is p/no 2601696. Email to spares@ukwhitegoods.co.uk should you need the part.

Thanks for that reply,i dont think its the same as my fault as i can get the tempreture down by inducing some airflow and i think the freezer temp gauge is showing the truth.

What i am not sure of is if the fans not turning as its failed or because its not being signalled?.
During the winter the fan copes fine,its just when it has to work hard it stops,its not siezed at that time and i am not sure what type it is to check supplies – Hotpoint are about as much use as a chocolate fireguard and i wont be buying any more of their products due lack of support.

Guess i will just have to get one and see if it fixes it,very poor idea drawing the hot air over the motor rather than blowing cool air across the condenser.

Thanks for your help,i will post here when i have it changed.

Re: Hotpoint FF72P

Well fitted a new fan and all is now fine,complicated little fan with a printed circuit inside so small wonder it played up,thank for the help here.

Oh – The fan runs when the compressor runs as well ( or it should )
