Re: Cannon Chichester timer failure
Sorry for the delay…
Cooker Part No: 4866200093-01 according to the handbook.
Re: Cannon Chichester timer failure
Thanks for your reply. Any idea where I can get one from?
Surprised that GASSAFE is involved. I would have thought this was an ‘electrical’ area, once the panels are off.
Re: Hotpoint FFA 70 fault
Thanks Spimps. By a trail of phoning ‘non-fixers’ of Fridge Freezers, I have finally found a company that has both an industrial & a domestic division specialising in the freezer repair business.
I have also spotted just one thermistor sitting in the freezer section, under the evaporator finned assembly. It’s wires feed back into the open base area where the compressor motor lives, and enter a white plastic unit that also has some cooling tubing going into it. No obvious part number can be seen on it.
I get the feeling that this model is very unsophisticated compared to others, No motorised flap, for example. Just a simple fan to distribute the cold air.
The motor does not cut out – or overheat. It just produces no refrigeration!
I’ll report the solution next week when the expert has had a look. I’m assured that they carry refrigerant with them & can do a refill if required.

Thanks for your response. I’m trying to get an engineer to take a look. Not many outfits seem to be interested in fixing FF these days!
Regarding the sensors (thermistors?) they must be buried within the walls of the fridge & the freezer, as nothing is apparent inside on examination.
Might it be be a leak of the refrigerant? How common is that? Type R 600a is stated on the plate. Would it leave a ‘deposit’ on the tubing by the leak?
