Hotpoint Fridge Freezer AAFF52K.1 not working – help

[Hardy_CR]

Hi Dave, I’ve purchased these https://uk.farnell.com/kemet/r46kr410000m1k/cap-1-f-10-pp-radial/dp/2429369 instead as they were the right height (20mm) and in stock.
Thanks,
Hardy

Thanks, I’ll let you know if it does the trick, fingers crossed 🙂

Hello Dave, I’ve replaced the 1uF capacitor on the control board but have measured the old one and it seems to be ok. I’ll try the updated board in the fridge freezer but I’m less confident is now that this is the solution ?

well you win some you lose some but at the cost it was worth a gamble

I’m not ruling it out completely but I may be back for some more suggestions 🙂

Hi Dave,

It’s been a while but I’ve come back to trying to get this fridge/freezer running again. I’ve ordered a new 4uF start capacitor as the installed one measures a bit low (it’s probably fine). After installing it I’ll try running the f/f. In an earlier post you posted a part image of a schematic diagram which looked like it aligned with this machine and the control board. Could you provided me with the whole diagram please ? Also could you provide some pointers on diagnostics perhaps around the control board inputs and outputs ? Is there a way of safely forcing a compressor start by suitable connection or loading of the control board inputs ?

Thanks,

diagram as requested

Many thanks Dave, let’s see where this gets us. 🙂
