Hotpoint ffa71 Sensors

[DPDOM]

Hi Guys
Does anyone know what a EDF sensor and REGA sensor is for this model?
I called today to this fridge freezer which had lots of frost in fridge but only a inch of gas to the freezer.
Sounded like system fault or the diverter valve but customer was sure it was the same as last time where an engineer arrived and changed a sensor and after 20mins all was working fine.
What baffles me is that I thought all the thermistors where foamed in.
A previous repair has been done involving removing the condenser and applying new insulation and i’ve never seen this before.
Am I missing something?

Regards
David

Its a system fault, they are prone to leaking from the anti condesation loop around the freezer door, they used ferrous metal pipework for the loop seems the joints have been breaking down, cutting out the loop and regassing sometimes cures but will may cause condesation around the freezer compartment

Not got a clue as the thermistors are not replaceable, can only assume it was a differant fault and he replaced the pcb jj
