Re: Hotpoint FFP187B power turning on and off
Well my mate has had a riiiiiight good look at the board, and aside from some “dodgey” looking joints on an IC there were no apparent issues with it.
The relay was removed and test and all seems fine..the fridge freezer is still clicking away.. but hopefully i’ll get this resolved with enough information to help others.. and ultimately help myself WHEN it happens again 🙁 as sadly.. i realise hot point is now a brand in future which is best avoided..
I’ll post back tho. .on any findings.. and watch in hope of a resolution.
Re: Hotpoint FFP187B power turning on and off
Not yet for me mate, but i no what you mean..
i’m trying to get the board over to a mate who’s a bit of a tech bod on such things.. hopefully he’ll be able to identify the problem?
But i await any other info from others with the problem as it seems to be a VERY common problem.. odd their appear no/very few solutions about?
at time my F/F is working ok.. cooling/freezing etc.. the compressor kicking in and out fans on and off etc… so they all work lol.. seems like a load issue maybe? who knows.. i’ll post more when i find out more..
Re: Hotpoint FFP187B power turning on and off
Right, well i’ve been searching the net.. and only found a single reference to the relay board in the top of the freezer which is “clicking”. I’ve had the top open and the relay is a NAIS JS1-B-12V-F-H111.
I’ve seen in here on UKWG for dishwasher etc.. would replacing this relay fix the potential problem anyone???
It would appear that the freezer is doing its cooling thing… but when it should be switching it off the relay usually clicks once (when working ok).. but has been continuously clicking… and after a period of time simply turns the whole lot off???
Elsewhere on the net it was implied that the relay is “sticking”. Could this be the case??
and if so… where can i get my hands on one of the relays???
Thanks in advance.
Re: Hotpoint FFP187B power turning on and off
I have exactly the same problem? Same age fridge too..
I’ve read somewhere that its simply a relay sticking on the control board behind the panel at the top… but am trying to find out a little more information before tackling it.
Luckily for me I have a chest freezer also.. and have been able to empy the freezer part of the fridge/freezer which appears to help the situation??
If i find anything out.. I’ll post back.. and will keep checking back for answer to help also 🙂
It would be covered un the 5 years parts warranty.. but at £105 for a call out.. and only a 3 month warranty.. if it came to it.. i’d rather buy a cheapo fridge freezer and get 12 months lol..
It doesn’t say much for these units really? I had a mistral before this one.. and that had issues around this age too??
