Re: Hotpoint MIstral FF72P – Fridge Problem
So, it’s been a week since I swapped the evaporator thermistor and the fridge freezer is working well. If anybody else has this problem I would recommend swapping out the thermistor, turning it on and waiting 24 hours for the fridge to settle down.
Re: Hotpoint Mistral FF73P – dismantling back panel
I have the FF72P. I removed the metal panel by bending the middle ‘out’ towards me. By keeping the bottom of the panel stationary, the top dropped down enough to come clear. Once the top was loose, I ‘folded’ the top down towards me, so as not to break the heater at the bottom. This gave me sufficient access to the thermistors.
Re: Hotpoint MIstral FF72P – Fridge Problem
OK, so I woke up this morning and
fridge = 2C
freezer = -22CThe compressor and fans were off, so it seemed to have achieved a temperature it was happy with.
Is there a known delay between fitting a new evaporator thermistor and the fridge settling down?
Anyway, hopefully things will now be OK. I’ll post back if the fridge starts playing up again.
Re: Hotpoint Mistral FF73P – dismantling back panel
Is the metal plate flexible. On my model of Mistral the metal panel could be flexed and ‘unclipped’ from the top (the defrost heater was attached to the bottom of the plate, so I couldn’t slide it out bottom first).
It felt a bit ‘bodgy’ but I’m not sure how else to do it. I hope that helps.
