Re: Hotpoint Minstral FF72P PCB part PTC1?

Thanks to all for this post – Confirmed all the work I’ve done
Freezer at -22 Deg, Fridge at room temp
Replaced both the Green and Yellow thermistors in the back of the freezer to no affect.

Shorted out PTC1 and all’s well (make sure you switch off before doing this, it’s 240v)…ordered new part as above from RS.
By the way PTC1 is at the top of the board (if you just lift the panel up with wires still connected) next to the display PCB..mine was grey but not all are. It is marked on the board

Good check is to leave the fridge door open for 5 mins, then on closing, check the fan runs for a minute. (i.e. until the thermistor gets hot)

Thanks guys.
