ParticipantRe: hotpoint mistral plus 9596 fridge warm
i will fit the proper part was going to try this to see if it was the thermister
but gets up this morning and fridge is working 2 deg
freezer -22
thinking back this all started when i put a large frozen leg of lamb in the fridge to slow thaw was wondering if maybe this fooled the fridge into thinking maybe it was too coldmav12

off to maplins tommorrow
many thanksmav12

cheers for that sputnik compressor is working ok now after leaving powered off for a while .
i am unclear on your fix about the resistors in parrallel i assume that would give 2..2 k this is what the evap thermister is showing now so i dont undersatand how it would work unless ive missed something
thanksmav12
ParticipantRe: hotpoint mistral plus 9596 fridge warm
bad to worse now compressor wont start at all now think i may have disturbed somrthing taking the back panel out checked the thermal fuses
they check ok
checked the connectors for the thermisters
metered the freezer thermister is about 3.4k at room temp
would a dodgy freezer thermister stop the compressor working
if i open the door and power on the compressor starts for a short while then stops
any ideas
think it may be a trip to the sales
thanks

thanks for the reply simon is it possible to test the thermister with a meter
would this fault cause the fan to start for a few seconds then stop when powering up
it only seems to d othis with the door open
