Hotpoint Mistral FF80P Noisy Condenser Fan

[brinzlee]

I want to change the condenser fan as the bearing is loose on my Hotpoint Mistral Plus FF80P but not sure which one to order as it gives me several to choose from. Mine has an inline fuse next to the case. When I try and find the equivalent part it refers to a date but cant find this printed anywhere. Is this something to do with the serial number or is there something I am missing. Also once the screws are removed how do you get the motor out as is it still attached to the fan blade within the cowl…do you just pull off the blade or is there a magic technique for removal
Thanks

Hi – did you get any joy with your fan? I have the same problem and the fans advertised either just show the fan blades or the motor housing with blades doesn’t look the same. did you find a way of getting the motor out of the spider housing? thanks. my fridge is the ff80pr.

Yes mended mine….you disconnect the leads first then unscrew the three screws holding it in place then pull the motor fairly aggresivily away from the blade and it will come off….I had quite a row with the hotpoint sales team when they tried to sell me the wrong motor. It was quite funny when they called me back and ate humble pie having got it wrong. If you call them insist that it is the one with the inline fuse if indeed that is the one that you have.

There’s three different motors used in those machines and, as I found out the other day as well and, the date code doesn’t always tell the truth but, that’s how you are supposed to identify which one was used. 😕

I didnt realise there were three but you can discount one of them if it hasnt got the inline fuse in the wiring loom. Its all good fun….
