Re: Hotpoint Mistral plus FF80 temp problem

Thanks for your input. I did as you said and found the mid section between compartments was very hot. I removed the bottom plinth at the front and found the condenser compartment totally blocked with dirt/fluff. This was removed and vacuumed then I openened the rear bottom cover and this also needed cleaning. I plugged in the power and the compressor began to run immediately but the condenser fan was not running. I checked the in-line 80m/amp fuse and it is fine. When I run the compressor for about a half hour the fridge compartment was still showing +22 and the freezer abour +6. Nothing appeared to be changing.Do you think replacing the fan will help to any degree or do I have a gas/blockage problem with the compressor?
