Re: Evaporator fan not working – Hotpoint Mistral F/F FF71S

The fan will not work while you have the cover off or the doors open. It will come on for about 5 seconds when the power is switched on only in that state. Before you go to the trouble of replacing thermistors just allow enough time for any ice inside the duct tube from the freezer to the fridge to melt. This build up prevents cold air from being pushed up into the fridge from the freezer by the fan. This cannot work while you have covers off or the doors open of course. You can use a hair dryer to speed things up. Often the time taken to replace a thermistor is enough for the ice to melt and there you go thinking you have fixed the problem.
