Re: hoover nextra hnf3147 spin problems
That sounds about right Dave, so is that likely to be dodgy caps – is there a way I can test this just using the board (I’ve dismembered the machine now and got another one to try and get working!)?
Re: hoover nextra hnf3147 spin problems
FWIW I’m researching a similar fault with a Hoover Nextra HNWF6165-88S (“5+5 Wash’n Dry”). The fault sounds the same. Another post at hnf3157-hoover-nextra-spin-related-faults-t75341-15.html seems very similar too – they largely fixed it by changing the programme selector (“timer control switch”/”motorised timer”).
Hopefully that will work for me too! Just making this post as a pointer for other people searching on the same issue.
Re: Hotpoint RFAA52P – leaking problem.
Did you get to the bottom of your leak issue with the Hotpoint RFAA52P fridge? Just wondering as I’m looking at it now and we have a cold kitchen too (< 16deg often in winter).
Re: Fridge not cooling, freezer works fine, please help.
That’s a quick reply. Thanks kwatt.
So presumably that means it’s dead? 😥
In which case it looks like I’m getting a fridge for Christmas …?
Edit: any suggestions on where [not] to buy and what to avoid/look for – it’ll be the cheapest f/f we can find otherwise.
Re: fridge freezing up
Have been reading a lot here – sounds like the thermostat has failed. They usually (apparently) fail closed so the fridge stays on. Thing is the fridge is cooling all the time, rather than stopping and starting according to temperature.
It could also be a diverter valve that opens/closes the flap between the fridge and freezer (eg in American style f/f).
If you can find the thermostat it’s usually an easy fix (if you can wire a plug you can do this). Turn off power before you fiddle with it!
