hotpoint FFA70 fridge freezer

[gilburton]

Before I call the engineer out when I opened the fridge door the light blew and the power has gone off.I have checked the fuse and supply and it’s ok.Does the bulb act as a fused link? or is there another fuse internally?thanks 😕

grr. have u tried a fuse? it might work

if that dosnt work, then it might well have blown the pcb

but id just put a fuse in it and see if it starts up first (minus the light of course)

as I said I have checked the fuse and supply so it’s more serious then? 🙁

Re: hotpoint FFA70 fridge freezer

unfortunately yes

like i said, if uve put fuse in and it doesnt work, it’ll be the pcb

did u leave it a few hours after the fuse was changed?
