Thanks Steve May 26, 2009 at 9:35 pm #287796 spimpsParticipant Re: Hotpoint FF72P – what does fault code mean? E8 is a short circuit in evaporator thermistor which helps control defrost,part no 2901683 shouldn’t be very expensive and is a simple plug in and clip on device after removing inside back panel of freezer. Don’t forget to SWITCH OFF FIRST. BGis Author Posts Viewing 2 posts - 1 through 2 (of 2 total) You must be logged in to reply to this topic. Log In Username: Password: Keep me signed in Log In
